Chapter 1313 Simple Investigation

When Yang Xiaotao and Teacher Yuan rushed to the experimental field by car, Yu Zecheng and Bai Ling arrived at Xiaoping Village earlier.

"Hello."

"I am Wang Jun, who is responsible for guarding the village."

At the gate of the village, a young man wearing a military uniform and a serious face came to the two of them.

He has received news from his superiors and is cooperating with the work of comrades sent from 49 cities.

"Hello, I am Yu Zecheng, the leader of this investigation team, and this is Comrade Bai Ling."

Team Wang nodded and met Bai Ling again, "You are finally here."

"Since the shooting, people in the village have been panicked. It won't be a problem if this continues."

"Comrades have worked hard!"

Yu Zecheng said something and then looked towards the village.

"Have all the people who went out come back?"

"He's back. Suo Zhang sent people to the surrounding villages last night to yell at them, and they all came back one after another."

"We have counted them this morning and they are all at home."

Yu Zecheng nodded.

At this moment, there were few people on the village roads, and some were patrol officers, all of whom looked solemn.

In addition to the guards led by Wang Jun, there were also militiamen from nearby villages.

Under the guidance of Wang Jun, the two came to the brigade headquarters in the middle of the village and met the village chief and a group of village cadres.

"This is Team Leader Yu, responsible for the investigation of this mission!"

Wang Jun looked at everyone in the room and introduced the identities of both parties.

"This is the village chief of Xiaoping Village, Wang Yuran, Village Chief Wang!"

The middle-aged village chief looked bitter and nodded to Yu Zecheng.

"Team Leader Yu, it is my responsibility that the experimental field was not saved this time."

"I request punishment from my superiors!"

Yu Zecheng glanced at the village chief and said calmly, "Your punishment will naturally be handled by the relevant departments after the case is solved."

"Our current task is to find the murderer hiding among the villagers as soon as possible and bring him to justice to prevent this from happening again."

After saying that, he looked at the people behind the village chief. There was a militia captain, a property manager, a women director, and several group leaders.

Several people looked over when they saw Yu Zecheng, some with serious faces, some with smiles, and some with nervous expressions.

Chu Nan stood aside, his face calm.

However, I was secretly wary.

When Yu Zecheng came in, she felt a pressure.

She understood that the people who came this time were not taking it easy, and she had to be careful!

Then he looked at the people around Yu Zecheng, glanced at Bai Ling, and then looked at the others.

I didn't see the target person, and I was wondering, why didn't the target Shennong come?

It's possible that he didn't come this time. It seems that we have to find a chance to confirm the identity of the other party!

Just when Chu Nan was confused, Yu Zecheng also looked away.

Although these people, including the village cadres, could not completely convince him.

Even the village chief in front of him was under his suspicion!

The head of a village could not control the villagers and indirectly caused such huge losses. This cannot be justified by dereliction of duty.

"Captain Wang! Director Zhang!"

Yu Zecheng had no intention of continuing to talk to these people. Instead, he ordered Captain Wang and the two of them, "Let everyone stay at home. No going out without instructions."

"Besides, the village chief stays and everyone else goes home."

Yu Zecheng said it bluntly, and several village cadres looked ugly, which clearly showed their distrust of them.

But no one spoke at this time. Firstly, they did not stop the villagers from destroying the experimental field. Secondly, the people from Forty-Nine City had a lot of power and were not easy to talk to at first glance.

Chu Nan followed a few people and walked out.

I thought that the people investigating above would ask them anyway to understand the situation at that time.

But now it seems that the other party is not prepared to take the normal path.

This unexpected feeling made her feel a little panicked.

After several people left the brigade headquarters, Yu Zecheng and Bai Ling sat aside, with Captain Wang beside them.

In front of the three people was the village chief.

"Village Chief Wang, tell me what you know!"

Yu Zecheng spoke and Wang Yuran nodded.

"Early the day before yesterday..."

Wang Yuran explained the situation in the village.

"We did not stop the villagers, and then most of them went to the experimental field."

"We followed behind and shouted to stop it, but the villagers didn't listen to us at all!"

"After that, we heard that there was a shooting and people were killed. When we arrived, the scene was already in chaos. Many people ran back, and some even ran out..."

After Wang Yuran finished speaking, Yu Zecheng looked at him coldly.

"Since we understand the importance of the experimental field, why not let the militia stop it?"

"I…"

"Since you have already discovered that the villagers are not in good mood, why didn't you report it in the morning? Why didn't you alert your superiors? Why did you choose to hide it?"

"I……"

"Also, why are the villagers complaining? The research institute has special subsidies. Where did the money go?"

On a hot day, Wang Yuran was sweating on his head and didn't know what to say.

"First, chief. We, our village cadres discussed it and used the money to run schools and build roads!"

砰

"I think you are just a confused officer!"

Yu Zecheng slapped the table, Wang Yuran lowered his head and his body trembled.

Bai Ling looked at it for a while, but nodded to Yu Zecheng.

After a while, Yu Zecheng spoke again.

"Village Chief Wang, next, I hope you will cooperate well and atone for your sins!"

"Chief! I will cooperate. I will cooperate well."

Yu Zecheng nodded, and Bai Ling on the side asked.

"How many people are there in your village?"

"There are one hundred and twenty-seven households in total, and the current population totals 493 people, old and young!"

"Are they all original residents?"

"No, there were originally more than fifty households in Xiaoping Village. Later, when the land was divided, more than twenty or thirty households moved in. During the difficult period of three years, more than ten households came. In the past two years, there have been marriages and weddings, family separations, etc. Yes, that’s all!”

"How many militiamen are there in the village..."

As Bai Ling asked, Wang Yuran came one by one.

After Bai Ling finished asking, Yu Zecheng touched his nose and then spoke.

"Bring me your village's household registration book."

Wang Yuran nodded and quickly walked out of the house.

"Director Yu, this person shouldn't be lying."

Bai Ling is good at observing micro-expressions. Through Wang Yuran's words and expressions, she found no abnormalities.

"Well, this village looks quite complicated!"

Bai Ling nodded, and then asked, "Is there a visit next?" "I see that there are a few people who are particularly high-profile during this operation. Do you want to call them and ask them."

"If we can find the person who is adding fuel to the flames, we can also open up a breakthrough."

Bai Ling suggested, but Yu Zecheng shook his head.

"It's useless. This fire didn't start in a day. These people are subtle. If you really ask, it's probably everyone."

"What should I do?"

Yu Zecheng looked at Wang Yuran walking in with a thick book in his arms and suddenly laughed, "Easy!"

"Chief, this is the household registration book of our village. It has the names of everyone in the village."

"There are also ones for kids!"

"it is good!"

Yu Zecheng picked it up and looked at it. Basically, there was a piece of paper for each household. The name of the person was on the top, and the relationship between the two parties was on the bottom.

Some families are so prosperous that they occupy several pages.

"Village Chief Wang!"

"Chief, tell me!"

"Take someone with you to find a wall and copy the names of all adults, regardless of gender, on it."

"Remember, leave some space underneath for writing!"

Although he didn't know why he was doing this, Wang Yuran readily agreed and led people to the entrance of the brigade department, picked up chalk and started writing on the brick wall.

"Zhang Suo, Team Wang!"

"There are three of us, each leading a team of people, taking notebooks and pencils, and going door to door to ask questions."

"Everyone has to name five people they met in the experimental field. Write down the names."

"Team Leader Bai, you are responsible for counting the names of people present at the scene!"

After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, Zhang Suo and Captain Wang were still confused, but Bai Ling understood Yu Zecheng's intentions.

Since the killer had ambushed him in advance, he would definitely not go to the experimental field with the villagers, and no one would see him.

The ambush location where the gun was located was one to two hundred meters away from the test field. The other party took advantage of the chaos to leave. In other words, someone might have seen him when he left.

But won't notice this.

Therefore, we only need to select the people who are seen by everyone. The most likely ones are definitely not the ones who are the most likely to be the murderers.

Bai Ling glanced at Yu Zecheng. He was able to use this method to narrow the scope. He was really experienced.

Several people got Yu Zecheng's arrangement and quickly brought people to the village.

Each person selects a row of houses and starts knocking on the first house.

In a house at the east end, there are two rooms surrounded by a short courtyard wall.

At this moment, in the yard, a simple and honest man was playing with the children next to him, "Son, daddy will go touch the loaches later and come back to make delicious food for you, okay?"

"Touch the loach, touch the loach."

"I also want to touch the loach."

The child stretched out his hands and made a scratching gesture with a happy smile on his face.

The man was so happy when he saw it that he held his son in his arms and put it on his head.

Not only was the condescending child not afraid, but he was giggling. Soon the yard was filled with the laughter of the father and son.

Inside the house, looking through the window at the cheerful father and son in the yard, Chu Nan's face was not pretty, but rather solemn.

The planned goal did not appear, so how could she complete the task?

If you can't even see anyone, how can you take away the target?

Perhaps, when originally planned, this additional task was a bit whimsical.

Maybe, I should consider leaving here as soon as possible.

Watching the father and son playing in the yard, Chu Nan looked down at his calloused hands. Twenty years ago, he was well-dressed and well-fed, and his fingers never touched the spring water.

But now.

"This damn society."

While cursing, he saw the door outside opened and a group of people walked in.

Chu Nan's ferocious face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a kind face.

Picking up the battle line on the side, Chu Nan went out with a smile.

Facing these investigators, she was not worried at all.

Everything he should arrange has been arranged. Xiaojun, the only one who poses a threat, will be eliminated from suspicion with the testimony of several of them.

"Team Leader Yu, hello, hello."

The man put down the child and opened the door, looking at the people who came in a little at a loss. At this time, Chu Nan came out with a needle and thread and welcomed him with a smile.

"Hello, Director Chu."

Yu Zecheng has a good memory and can basically remember it after being introduced once.

"Let's sit inside."

"No, there is something else."

Yu Zecheng waved his hand and then asked, "Are there only three of you at home?"

The man nodded, and Chu Nan explained, "We separated in the early years and we were alone. There were just three of us."

Yu Zecheng nodded, "Your name is Liao Lisan?"

"Yes, Chief."

“Where were you when the rice fields were destroyed?”

"Tell the truth and don't hide anything."

Yu Zecheng asked seriously from the side. The man was a little nervous, and then he said, "Me, my wife and I stopped the villagers, but we didn't stop them. Then we went to the rice fields to stop them."

"it is good."

"Have you found the attacker?"

"No."

"Have you noticed anyone exhibiting unusual behavior?"

The man thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Think about the people you have seen in the rice fields."

"Name at least five names."

Liao Lisan thought for a while and then said, "The couple next door, and..."

"Say name."

"Oh. Wang Chunhua, Tian Daniu, Wang Jinfu"

"it is good."

The recorder beside him wrote it down, and then Yu Zecheng asked about Chu Nan again.

When Yu Zecheng first asked, Chu Nan kept listening. Knowing that this was a normal investigation method of the police, he didn't pay attention. He went through the questions just now and then named five names.

Of course, in order to cover for Xiaojun, she specially added Ge Zhongjun's name.

After Yu Zecheng finished understanding, he took the people away.

Chu Nan stepped forward to close the door and took the opportunity to see the patrol team in the alley, his face was gloomy.

Behind him, the man watched a flash of struggle flash across his wife's honest face.

He has always been with his daughter-in-law, for fear of being offended by the villagers. He has seen everyone her daughter-in-law sees.

But he had never met Ge Zhongjun.

Moreover, on weekdays, in this village, because of his wife's status as the female director, she often visits each other on the streets, and her interactions with Ge Zhongjun are a bit too close.

As a man, he had an intuition that the relationship between his wife and this surnamed Ge was not simple.
