Chapter 41: Searching for Clues

Qingshuitang, a lake on the outskirts of Binhai City, the area is not large, sparkling, the mountains on the opposite bank are reflected in it, the green willows on the shore are swaying, the reeds are thick, it is the breeding place of fish and shrimp, and it is also a good place for people to fish and relax here.

Li Ming and Mao Wei were carefully looking for clues on the shore to frame Xiao Jingjing, they looked at the reeds by the river, and took pictures of the pattern of a string of car tire prints, measuring the width of the tires, guessing the model of the car, and so on.

They concluded that it was a van.

Mao Wei said: "It stands to reason that except for a few companies in the entire Binhai City, there are basically no such small trucks, and they should be counted." Let's start with this pickup truck. ”

Li Ming said: "This is also true. ”

Along the way, Li Ming drove a jeep, and Mao Wei, who was sitting on the side, said: "Section chief, in my opinion, Xiao Jingjing's accident this time, like the last time, is aimed at our director." ”

Li Ming said: "Then there is no need to say, you want to poison the child, it seems that the murderer is ruthless enough." Whether the question was the work of a sleeper agent is unknown. ”

Mao Wei said: "It's hard to say. Then he said, "How did the murderer know that my sister-in-law was not there that day?" It shows that the murderer knows the situation of the director's family very well. Maybe it's our people. ”

Li Ming said: "Yes, it seems that the murderer has been planning for a long time, otherwise, it would not be so coincidental, it happened that my sister-in-law was not there that day, and something happened." It seems that the enemy has been premeditated and is waiting for the opportunity. ”

Li Ming and Mao Wei first came to Binhai Agricultural Machinery Factory to explain their intentions to the factory director.

The factory director smiled and said, "I'm sorry that our factory doesn't have this kind of small truck." Hey, it seems that the city meat processing plant and the city fishery company have this kind of car. The meat processing plant must have such a car, and once, our factory even borrowed it from them. ”

Li Ming and Mao Wei came to the meat processing plant again, and they explained their intentions to the factory director.

The factory director said with a smile: "We have a car like this in the factory, whether someone has borrowed it, I don't know very well, the average person in the factory will not drive, including myself, this car is only driven by our driver Master Zhang, whether to borrow a car, only ask Master Zhang." Then I will have someone find him, and I will ask him. ”

After a while, Master Zhang came to the office.

The factory director said to Master Zhang: "Master Zhang, these two public security officers want to ask you, has anyone borrowed this box car in our factory recently?" Because, when it comes to an important case, you should tell them the truth. ”

Master Zhang said: "There is such a car in the factory, I don't praise myself, I regard it more than anything else." Do you think that once something goes wrong, don't affect the delivery of goods in the factory? I usually pay more attention to the maintenance of it, not that the car is cleaner than my bed. Once my brother-in-law was going to sell a pig and wanted me to help him drive it, I didn't agree, I would rather help him carry it to the slaughterhouse. The factory also trusts me more, just a car key. To tell you the truth, I keep this key on my body all the time, which is also a responsibility and my pride. Ha ha. That's like the Fisheries Bureau, they bought this one a few months later than our factory, and now the car has not been done well, they, as long as the car is parked there, anyone can drive, some young people, can't drive, but also drive out, how dangerous do you say, who is responsible for the accident? Master Zhang said as he took out the car keys hanging from his trouser belt. Said with a smile; "If you don't believe it, you can go and see it. The car was parked in the garage. ”

Li Ming picked up the car keys and looked at them again and again. Then he said, "Shall we go and see the car?" ”

The factory director and Master Zhang said at the same time: "Okay! Yes! ”

Li Ming and Mao Wei came to the parking garage with Director Yu and Master Zhang of the meat processing plant. A pickup van, which almost looked like new, was parked there.

Li Ming and Mao Wei carefully inspected the tires of the car, and the patterns on the tires were exactly the same as those left at the scene. But the tires are clean and clean, not like walking on the grass.

So, Li Ming and Mao Wei said goodbye to Director Yu and Master Zhang. They went to the aquatic company again. Secretary Chen of the aquatic products company received them.

Li Ming explained his intention to Secretary Chen.

Secretary Chen said helplessly: "Oh, I have already said that something will happen sooner or later with our company's car." Yesterday, I also criticized our office, the car is not managed by a special person, the car keys are thrown on the desk, and anyone can drive out at will. How can there be no problems with such management? ”

Li Ming asked, "Where is the car parked now?" ”

Secretary Chen said: "Now it is probably parked outside, and there is no fixed parking place. ”

Li Ming said: "Then let's go and have a look." ”

Li Ming and Mao Wei followed Secretary Chen to the side of the pick-up truck.

The pickup truck had been bumped into several notches, and the tires were covered with weeds and mud, and it was clear that the weeds on the tires were exactly the same as the weeds on the grass on the other side of the clear water pond. Li Ming and Mao Wei looked at each other for a moment, and then left the aquatic company.

Mornings on the coast are sunny and the air is pleasant.

In the office of the Yaohai Neighborhood Committee, two scouts are learning about the situation with several retired residents, and the theme revolves around the murder of the "old leatherman", who is a close neighbor of the "old leathermon".

The scout said: "I have invited you here today mainly to find out who is usually associated with the 'old cobbler', and what is unusual about him these days?" ”

You are here, and I will say it one by one.

A said: "The old leatherman" is still honest and dutiful, and few people have dealings with him, and unless people ask him to sew shoes, he rarely goes out, because the shop must be open, otherwise, if the door of the customer is closed, there will be no business next time. Just the shopkeeper Hu in the pharmacy opposite, he is also single, and he often sits and chats with him when he has nothing to do. Maybe it's the sameness. ”

B said, "Yes, yesterday I went to take out the garbage after dinner, and I saw the shopkeeper Hu coming out of the 'old leatherman's house', probably around 6 o'clock." ”

The scout asked, "Surely you are not mistaken?" ”

B said, "How can you be mistaken? They are all from the township, and I usually greet him when I see him, and it's not that I don't know him. ”

At this time, the scout took out a small hammer from his bag, "Come, you guys come and see, have any of you seen this little hammer?" ”

Aunt Wang picked up the small hammer. He said, "Oh, isn't this little hammer the 'old cobbler', my little bench at home is broken, and I want to drive a small nail, and I borrowed it from him." That's right, this little hammer is his. ”

The shopkeeper, the small hammer, the two scouts looked at each other.

One of the scouts said: "The situation you react to is important. Thank you very much for providing us with information, I will talk to you about this today, maybe I will trouble you in the future, I hope you don't say anything after you go back, including your family, you should pay attention to confidentiality, so as not to complicate things. ”

Everyone said: It is also our responsibility to assist the public security to understand the situation, and we don't need to be polite, if necessary, we can do it anytime and anywhere.
