Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Chapter 1268: Evil Ways

It had been so long since the incident, and Li Dong didn't expect to find any clues here.

But as a policeman, he can't just wait until he gets a clue to investigate, and criminals can't just stand there and wait for him to catch them.

In order to solve such a major case, we must conduct a thorough investigation and look for loopholes.

After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch!

The old house is located on the street, and young people rarely see it in such remote towns.

Most of the people you see on the streets are left-behind elderly people.

Li Dong and Ding Jintian, two unfamiliar faces, attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared.

Li Dong is handsome and Ding Jintian is young and beautiful.

Such a pair appearing in such a remote small town is already a very eye-catching thing.

I definitely can’t use my identity as a police officer, so I might as well hide it as a photographer.

The plan had been agreed upon long ago, and Li Dong even brought a camera with him for the purpose.

Song Ci is a reporter. Taking photos is her job and she has many cameras at home.

Li Dong greeted Song Ci and picked up one from home.

It can be seen that the equipment should be very professional.

Li Dong didn’t know much about the long guns and short guns, he just knew that they were quite heavy hanging around his neck.

After confirming the location of the Jinxi family's old house, Li Dong gave Ding Jintian a gesture.

Ding Jintian was not stage-shy either. She walked onto the street confidently and struck a pose casually.

She is already beautiful, and with the careful poses she strikes, she looks infinitely youthful.

Her slender figure was infinitely elongated under the light and shadow, instantly drawing all the attention away from Li Dong.

Li Dong seized the opportunity, turned on his camera, and started taking a lot of photos of Ding Jintian.

Li Dong himself doesn’t know much about photography, but even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run.

Song Ci often fiddled with these cameras at home, and Li Dong learned several photography techniques from him.

The shutter button was not professional, but the photography posture was definitely professional.

At the very least, dealing with these elderly people on the street is obviously not a problem. They are obviously professional photographers from big cities.

After the photo was taken, Li Dong pretended to check the film, gave a thumbs up and said, "Good, very good!"

"I finally found the feeling, this is the group!"

As he spoke, Li Dong stepped forward and took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Uncle, Madam, hello, we are photographers from the provincial capital photography association."

"This is my girlfriend and also my model."

"We came here specifically to collect materials for the photography competition, and the main focus is on some old buildings."

"The results of this set of photos are very good. If nothing goes wrong, we plan to use this set of photos to participate in the competition."

"The photo captured our house, which involves copyright issues, so I may need to inform everyone in advance."

“I hope everyone can give me authorization and allow me to use this set of photos to participate in the competition.”

"Of course, it's not free, there are copyright fees."

When they heard that there was money to be taken, everyone gathered around.

Li Dong pointed pretentiously, "This building, this building, and this building. They were all on camera just now."

"As for the copyright fee, it's 500 yuan per house. If that's ok, please come and sign it."

When they heard that they could get 500 yuan without doing anything, everyone became more enthusiastic and some even tried to bargain.

Li Dong couldn't afford the price, so he simply handed it over to Ding Jintian.

Seeing that more and more people were watching, Li Dong pointed to the old house of Jinxi's family and asked, "By the way, whose house is this? Why hasn't anyone come to claim it?"

Soon, someone nearby explained, “This house is empty, no one lives here!”

Li Dong asked suspiciously, "Has it been moved away, or is it abandoned?"

"If the photo is published in the newspaper in the future, no one will come to trouble me, right?"

The old man explained: "That's not clear, but the person has moved away, but he is not gone."

Li Dong sighed, "Such a nice house, but nobody lives in it, and it's not for sale. It's just left here. What a pity!"

A neighbor said, "Hey, they raise their children well."

"I made a lot of money in other places, bought them houses, and took them there to enjoy themselves."

"These houses in town are worthless and no one wants them even if they are sold."

Li Dong asked again, "Auntie, do you know where they moved to?"

"I can mail the copyright fee to them. Otherwise, I really don't dare to use these photos indiscriminately."

The neighbors were talking about it. "Oh, I don't know. I heard that he moved to Tianzhou."

"They left overnight. They didn't tell us where they moved to, and we didn't ask."

Li Dong suddenly lowered his voice and said in an unfathomable tone, "It's better to move away. This house cannot be lived in. It has too much evil spirit."

"If you live here for too long, there will be problems."

The elderly people nearby asked seriously, "Young man, do you know these?"

Li Dong said mysteriously, "As a photographer, I travel a lot, so I know a little bit."

"There's something wrong with the orientation of this house. Someone must have died recently, and it was an unexpected death."

"Well, am I right?"

Someone joked, "Young man, you are so good at talking nonsense. She is fine."

Someone agreed, "That's right, if life is not going well, can we move to the city?"

Just when everyone thought Li Dong was swindling, someone quickly retorted: "No, someone died!"

"You forgot that the distant relative of the Jin family in Tianzhou died in a car accident."

"Both husband and wife are gone, they were so young, isn't it just an unexpected death?"

After hearing that Li Dong's words were confirmed, the wind direction at the scene suddenly changed.

The eyes of several old people looking at Li Dong changed, and they said with a bit of awe: "Young man, you have some skills, can you help my family?"

Li Dong turned a deaf ear and laughed it off.

Then he left a phone number and said that the owner of the house would be able to pay the copyright fee at any time when he returned.

On the way back, Li Dong began to analyze the case in his mind.

There are not many clues that can be followed up in the Jinxi case at present.

First, is the autopsy report at that time.

However, the special task force that Gao He applied to set up has not yet been formally established, so it is impossible to take action so quickly.

The autopsy report can only be re-examined after the task force applies for a review.

Second, the testimony of the policeman who was the first to arrive at the scene mentioned by Jinxi was inconsistent.

If the police officer changed his testimony because he was "influenced" by some external factors, he would certainly not admit it easily.

If we contact them now, we will definitely alert them.

For this purpose, Li Dong has already found Xu Bing.

Let Xu Bing use some peripheral means to "contact from the side" and see if he can find any clues.

The third is the distant relative of Jinxi’s family.

If he could get evidence of the Huaxi Group buying stolen goods, he could overturn the case. This was also the purpose of him bringing Ding Jintian here today!
