Riverside police

At 5:24 p.m., Changhang Branch Branch Office Compound.

Fire brigade back-office Ge Xiaoqian gently opened the door of car No. 3 and shouted: "Bureau Han, Bureau Han, wake up, Wei Zhi is here, Mr. Niu and the whole bureau are waiting for you."

"Ah..." Han Yu opened his sleepy eyes and asked drowsily: "What time is it now? Where is this?"

"It's almost 5:30, this is the branch."

"It's half past five!"

"Um."

Only then did Han Yu notice that he was sleeping in the car, covered with a new-style police cotton-padded jacket. The driver Lao Ding, who had just dozed off on the steering wheel, rubbed his eyes and explained: "Han Bureau, at Binsha Automobile Ferry at noon You fell asleep while waiting for the technical brigade to investigate at the small dock over there. Mr. Niu and Director Luo knew that you were tired and sleepy, so they didn't call you. We were waiting for the technical brigade to come back after surveying the site. Bureau Qi originally wanted you to go upstairs. I want to rest, but I’m worried about waking you up, so I’ll let you sleep in the car until now.”

Ge Xiaoqian knew very well how much pressure "Uncle Master" was under, and whispered: "Master Ding is afraid that you will catch a cold. Although there is air conditioning in the car, it is very dangerous if the air conditioner is turned on without stopping the engine. He has been accompanying you in the car." You. When it’s cold, start the car and turn on the air conditioner. When it’s hot, take a break and open the windows for ventilation.”

"Really?" Han Yu reacted, lifted up the cotton clothes covering his body, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Master Ding, do I snore?"

Lao Ding smiled and said: "Hit."

"thank you."

It seemed that the senior sister was not wronged. It turned out that she was really snoring when she fell asleep. Han Yu smiled awkwardly, pushed the door and got out of the car and walked towards the office building and asked: "Xiaoqian, when did Wei Zhi arrive?" ?”

"Just arrived."

"Who else besides Wei Zhi?"

"A total of three leaders came, and I didn't recognize them."

"Where are your Fangzhi?"

"Fang Zhi and the guys from the security detachment just came back from investigating the auto repair shop. He didn't even bother to eat lunch. He's eating in the cafeteria right now."

"Has Jiang Zhi come back?"

"Back, now in the conference room."

The little girl didn't understand the situation, so Han Yu didn't ask any more questions or go directly to the conference room. Instead, he went to the water room to wash his face, rinsed his mouth with the faucet, and then went upstairs to the conference room when he really woke up.

Compared with yesterday afternoon, today's conference room looks like a project headquarters.

A blackboard was set up in the corner of the wall. There were more than a dozen photos stapled with thumbtacks on the blackboard. There were names marked in chalk under the photos. Chalk lines were drawn between the photos to outline a relationship diagram between the photos.

Mr. Niu and Wei Zhi were sitting in the middle of the conference table, listening to Jiang Youwei's report on the case with Bureau Qi, Bureau Li, Bureau Wu of the Gangzha Branch, Lao Li of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Gangzha Branch, and Deputy Captain Qian of the Serious Case Brigade of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau. .

After sleeping in a daze all afternoon, Han Yu wanted to know the progress of the afternoon, but he didn't want to affect Jiang Zhi's report, so he nodded to his leaders and colleagues, pulled up his chair and sat down to listen together.

"Huo Zhaojun said that he sent Lu Xueqin to the long-distance bus station and saw someone setting up a stall selling oranges, and the price was cheaper than in Yangtze Town, so he bought five kilograms. Although the comrades of the public security detachment did not monitor him when he sent Lu Xueqin to the long-distance bus station. video, but found the fruit vendor.”

"A young man driving a motorcycle was not generous at all. He actually bargained for some oranges. On the contrary, the girl who went with him was very generous. The stall owner was deeply impressed by him. The stall owner said that the girl wanted to pay, so he rushed to pay. He gave the woman some oranges, but she didn't want them, so he put them in the luggage compartment of his motorcycle and left."

Jiang Zhi paused and then said: "Bureau Li arranged for comrades from the fire brigade to drive motorcycles from the long-distance bus station to Yangtze Town. Judging from the time, Huo Zhaojun did not lie. Then we asked the landlord, too I asked Huo Zhaojun’s colleagues and found that they all knew that Huo Zhaojun liked Lu Xueqin, but they didn’t know that Lu Xueqin had worked abroad, let alone that Lu Xueqin had at least 300,000 yuan in savings.”

Wei Zhi held a cigarette in his mouth and asked, "Does Huo Zhaojun know?"

"Bureau Han and I have interrogated him, Guixiang and Chen Ming have interrogated him, and the political commissar has also interrogated him if he is not convinced. Judging from the interrogation situation, it is very likely that he really does not know that Lu Xueqin is a young rich woman, or even that Lu Xueqin has been killed."

"So we can rule out Huo Zhaojun's suspicion of committing the crime?"

"It can basically be ruled out, but we still brought him back. The main consideration is that his suspicion of committing the crime cannot be completely ruled out. If it is indeed not him who did it, we can also paralyze the real murderer by taking coercive measures against him."

Until the truth of the case is revealed and the murderer is truly caught, who dares to let Huo Zhaojun go?

Wei Zhi nodded and signaled Jiang Zhi to continue.

"Today, we asked the victim's colleagues and leaders and found that the victim usually performs very well at work, is kind, and has an introverted personality. He always smiles and doesn't talk much. He has never had any conflicts with leaders or colleagues in the factory."

Jiang Zhi picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then continued: "What's strange is that she was obviously pregnant, but she actually told the sisters who worked together that she didn't have a boyfriend. Since she didn't have a boyfriend, whose child was she pregnant with? It’s just that Changjiang Town is not close to Binjiang City, so she comes to Binjiang whenever she needs a break to find colleagues who have worked abroad together, and sometimes she even asks for leave!”

Director Wu of the Gangzha Branch blurted out: "The problem lies in the urban area, and it is probably related to money!"

"We thought so at first. After all, it was more than 300,000 yuan, which was a huge sum of money for us working-class people."

Jiang Zhi turned to look at Li Guangrong and continued to report: "Bureau Li organized police officers from Binjiang Police Station and various detachments, with the assistance of the Municipal Bureau Traffic Police Detachment and several insurance companies, at 3:46 this afternoon, they investigated A woman who went to Saipan to work with Lu Xueqin. Bureau Li knows the specific situation best, please report to the leaders. "

"good."

Li Guangrong was also very sleepy, but still kept his energy up. He pointed to the photo on the blackboard and reported: "This woman's surname is Guan, her name is Guan Chaohong, she is from Pingchao Town, Changzhou City, and she is 32 years old. Four years ago, Through an overseas labor agency, I went to Saipan to work as a sewing worker and worked there for three years.

This man's name is Cao Chengguo, Guan Chaohong's husband. He is 34 years old, has a junior high school education, and is a native of Pingchao Town, Changzhou City. After graduating from junior high school, he studied auto repair and has been working for others before. Because of his skills, the salary is not low. He has saved the money to open an auto repair shop over the years.

Guan Chaohong went abroad to work and earned more than 300,000 yuan. After returning, he bought a commercial house in Chonggang District and bought it in Baixiang Community. They have a son who is in primary school and their family is happy. We found them mentioning Lu Xueqin, and they were surprised. At least they didn't seem to know that Lu Xueqin was dead. "

A layman is a layman. He talks a lot but doesn't get to the point.

Wei Zhi asked calmly: "Where are the two of them?"

"I brought them back. They are all downstairs."

"Did you ask carefully?"

"asked."

Li Guangrong realized that the report just now was not concise enough and said quickly: "Guan Chaohong said that Lu Xueqin came to the city to look for her, but only twice. There is a tire shop and a tire shop next to the auto repair shop they opened. A store that operates second-hand cars and a store that sells auto parts. We asked her husband and their 'neighbors', and her husband said that Lu Xueqin had indeed only been here twice, and several 'neighbors' also said that they had never seen Lu Xueqin. .”

Wei Zhi asked: "How can several 'neighbors' confirm that Lu Xueqin rarely goes to them?"

"The couple runs a shop. Although they bought a commercial house in the city, the house has not been renovated for the time being. The three of them eat, drink, and sleep in the shop."

"I came twice. What were the dates of those two times?"

"Let me see."

Li Guangrong picked up the notebook and looked through it, and said quickly: "Guan Chaohong and his wife didn't remember it very clearly. They said the first time seemed to be around August 3, and Lu Xueqin called Guan Chaohong the day before he came. Having worked together for three years abroad, Guan Chaohong regarded Lu Xueqin as a younger sister and planned to go to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy vegetables, hoping to cook something delicious for Lu Xueqin.

She originally thought that Lu Xueqin would arrive at around 10 o'clock at the earliest, but she didn't expect that Lu Xueqin would arrive at 7:30. The two of them sent their children to school together, went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then returned to the store to reminisce about old times. Anyway, they had a lot of fun that day. She was so happy that she played until 4:30 in the afternoon, then took Lu Xueqin to the bus station on a bicycle. "

Han Yu suddenly raised his head and asked: "Jiang Zhi, what time is the earliest CMB service in Binjiang, Changjiang Town?"

"7:30."

"The bus departs from Changjiang Town at 7:30. Even if there are no loops and passengers on the road, the fastest it will take is 8:30 to get to the long-distance bus station. There is still some distance from the long-distance bus station to Guan Chaohong's store. Lu Xueqin 7:30 It's here right now, how did she get here?"

Just as Wei Zhi was about to speak, Li Guangrong explained: "Han Bureau, Guan Chaohong is just as strange. She asked Lu Xueqin that day, and Lu Xueqin said she came to the city on a ride from the factory delivering goods."

"Jiang Zhi, has this been verified?"

"I called Mr. Qi of Changlin Clothing and asked. Mr. Qi said that their company has two vans, but they are mainly used for purchasing. They usually travel mainly to Gaoru, and occasionally go to Changzhou or even Linghai. They almost never come. Across town.”

"I walked around the town this morning and saw several black cars parked at the intersection west of the town hall. Have you checked?"

"After checking, several illegal car drivers had no impression of Lu Xueqin. They all said they had never done any business with Lu Xueqin."

Jiang Zhi put out the cigarette and added: "I asked Mr. Qi from Changlin Clothing to check Lu Xueqin's attendance record, and I can confirm that Lu Xueqin took a break on August 3. I also asked Mr. You from Changdong Electronics to check Huo Zhaojun's attendance record. , Huo Zhaojun went to work normally on August 3, did not ask for leave, and was not late."

"What time does Changdong Electronics work in the morning?"

"7:45."

Who sent Lu Xueqin to the city that morning? This is a major doubt!

Han Yu took a note and wrote it down, then looked at Li Guangrong again.
