Escape From the Library

【Construction Site Mystery-05】

Yue Xingwen sorted out the current clues again.

Workers are owed wages, which is not uncommon in the construction process.

Assuming that the wage arrears of the workers had nothing to do with Zhao Dayong's death, then the cause of Zhao Dayong's death is still "personal grievances", and it is necessary to continue the investigation from the four suspects and expand the scope to see if there are others. There is an intersection with Zhao Dayong in private.

If the unpaid wages of the workers are related to Zhao Dayong's death, then it is possible that someone killed Zhao Dayong deliberately to put pressure on the construction party and delay the progress of the project; or, Zhao Dayong knew something and was silenced by the top management.

Yue Xingwen looked at his watch. The time is now 10:[-] in the morning. He quickly arranged: "In this way, we will start the investigation from the two clues of Zhao Dayong's personal grievances and the unpaid wages of the workers, and talk to the workers. Today at the construction site It was very chaotic and the workers were depressed. Everyone should pay attention not to use the tone of the police interrogating prisoners during the investigation, but to chat and gossip. We are also workers, and we are comrades-in-arms on the same front with them, so they are willing to tell everyone the truth. "

He looked around and said, "Qin Lu and Sister Man Luo are in a group; Senior Zhuo and Senior Xu are in a group; Senior Brother Liu and Zhang Xiaonian are in a group; I am in a group with Ping Ce. Qin Miao and Xin Yan, you are not good at Chat with strangers and give you other tasks."

Sister Qin Miao, who has a cold personality, really doesn't like to talk to people.Xin Yan is the same, he said lightly: "You arrange it."

Yue Xingwen said: "Qin Miao, Xin Yan, Ke Shaobin, the three of you go for a walk in the underground parking lot to simulate the murderer's trajectory. Ke Shao scans the panorama with a small picture and builds a model of the best path for the murderer to kill and escape. .By the way, investigate along the road to see if there are any clues left by the murderer."

Even if these three people are in danger, Qin Miao has the big move to disarm and Xin Yan has strong acid in his hand, so it will definitely be no problem to protect themselves.

Ke Shaobin nodded immediately: "Understood, let's go to the garage."

Yue Xingwen's arrangement was very reasonable, and everyone had no objections, so they split up to investigate.

After going out, they found seven or eight workers squatting in the corner smoking. Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and walked over quickly.Those few people were chatting about what to do if they couldn't pay their wages: "Oh, the family is going to be overwhelmed!" "It's the same with my family. The child hasn't paid the tuition for school yet."

Yue Xingwen found an empty seat and squeezed in, sighed, and answered the conversation naturally: "My brother was diagnosed with liver cancer last year, and the doctor said he needed an operation, and the family couldn't afford it. I'm still waiting for this salary to help the emergency." Woolen cloth……"

Xingwen is an only child and has no older brother at all.

Jiang Pingce had already seen this guy's ability of "talking people when he sees people, and talking nonsense when he sees people". Therefore, after listening to Xingwen's story, Jiang Pingce looked calm and asked casually, "Is your brother's condition serious?"

Yue Xingwen said: "The doctor said it was an early stage of liver cancer. If you have an operation, you can still be saved. I have borrowed all the relatives at home, but the operation fee is still not enough. I just wait for my salary, but it can't be paid now..."

A few people saw Yue Xingwen frowning, and this topic of "sickness and pity" instantly brought the distance a lot closer.

An old man over 50 years old slowly exhaled smoke rings, and said in an accent that he didn't know where: "In March, it was said that the summer vacation would be paid in July; in July, it was said that the building would be paid. In September, the building was capped, and it was said that it would be released at the end of the year! Alas, you are playing us like monkeys!"

The young worker on the right side of Yue Xingwen lowered his voice and gossiped: "The developer of the Xinyue Plaza project is Dexin Group, and the boss is Jiang Dexin. I heard that he has also encircled a piece of land in City B. What kind of high-end business is he going to do?" In the residential area, all the funds have been moved there, and our wages here have not been paid.”

The smoking old man said: "Is there any king's law!"

The workers became agitated and began to scold the developer.Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, and tried to change the topic to Zhao Dayong: "By the way, people like Zhao Dayong are work-related injuries, right? Shouldn't they be compensated?"

The young worker who was gossiping just now said: "The money must be paid. It's a pity that Zhao Dayong is not married, and only Zhao Liang is left in his family. An 18-year-old child can understand a fart! I guess, Mr. Zhang only gave him tens of thousands of dollars. Just send him away."

Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice: "Is there no relative in Zhao Dayong's family? Aunts, uncles, etc., when encountering such a thing, the family members don't come to the construction site to make trouble?" Yue Xingwen immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, come a few more A family member, maybe Mr. Zhang will give them more compensation in order to calm things down?"

The young worker said: "Their family members are all dead."

This worker obviously also came from Zhaojia Village, Yue Xingwen pricked up his ears and listened to him tell a story——

"Zhao Dayong's parents both died of liver cancer. He was brought up by his brother. His brother Zhao Dacheng is 10 years older than him. He is the best carpenter in our village. Later he married a wife and gave birth to Zhao Liang. The child. The husband and wife have been working in other places all year round, and the child is left to uncle Zhao Dayong to take care of."

"Originally, the couple's income in the past few years was not bad, and the days went better and better. But later, when Zhao Dacheng was renovating the family, because the balcony guardrail of that house was loose, he accidentally fell from upstairs and died on the spot. , his sister-in-law went to that house to ask for an explanation, and was accidentally hit by a car on the way... Oh, poor thing, Zhao Liang was still in junior high school at the time, and his grades were pretty good, but this incident hit him too hard. A few became the last ones, and they didn't get into a good high school or university."

Speaking of this past event, the young worker had a heavy expression and sighed with regret.

Someone nearby gossiped: "You are also from Zhaojia Village? Are there so many people working in your village?"

The young worker said with a wry smile: "There is no way, the village is too remote, and if you can't come out to work, you can't support your family just by farming."

Yue Xingwen pondered this passage carefully—the accidental death of his parents caused Zhao Liang's grades to plummet?Or, the reason for his grades plummeted not only because of this, but also because of his uncle's bullying of him?

The possibility that "Zhao Liang was molested by his uncle since he was a child and killed in retaliation" proposed by Ke Shaobin cannot be completely ruled out.

Zhao Dayong is Zhao Liang's "guardian". Once he dies accidentally on the construction site, Zhao Liang will be the only family member and heir to the property. All the compensation paid to the deceased workers on the construction site will be handed over to Zhao Liang. Zhao Liang seems to have sufficient motives for committing the crime?

Yue Xingwen pretended to gossip and said: "Zhao Dayong is not married, and he has such a big nephew, is their uncle and nephew on good terms? Zhao Dayong won't think that Zhao Liang is his oil bottle?"

The young worker said: "Zhao Dayong usually works outside, and he will send living expenses to A Liang every month. He is very concerned about this nephew, and he will buy some clothes and snacks to send back during the holidays."

Jiang Pingce grasped the key point: "Zhao Liang studies alone in his hometown, and Zhao Dayong goes out to work. They don't often get together?"

The worker said: "That's right, Zhao Liang's grades are getting worse and worse for this reason. His uncle doesn't have time to take care of him. He goes to Internet cafes with a bunch of gangsters every day. Oh, what a good seed has been delayed..."

Yue Xingwen continued to ask: "By the way, why does Zhao Liang not live in the dormitory, but go to the building to sleep on the floor?"

The worker said mysteriously: "When this kid came to the construction site, there was only one empty dormitory, and he lived in Yan Kai, who was in charge of the warehouse. The logistics monitor arranged for him to live in a room with Yan Kai. Ah Liang was bullied by Yan Kai every day, probably because of No, I might as well move out and make a bed on the floor, anyway, it’s hot now, and it’s still cool to sleep in the building.”

As soon as he said this, the worker suddenly shut up as if he had seen a ghost.

Yue Xingwen turned his head and saw a man wearing a blue mechanic hat passing by from a distance. The man was tall and long-legged, with a tattoo on his arm, slightly sunken eye sockets, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon. It's easy to mess with.

The worker lowered his voice: "This Yan Kai is the person behind Mr. Zhang, and he has a particularly bad temper."

Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen exchanged a look - it seems that Zhao Liang was not lying when he told Jiang Pingce that "the dormitory beds are occupied, so they can only sleep on the floor in the building".The warehouse manager surnamed Yan relied on his relationship with Mr. Zhang, and it was no secret that he bullied other people on the construction site.

The two chatted with the workers until lunch time before turning back to the dormitory.

The construction site was closed today, no one was cooking lunch, and there were a lot of buckets of instant noodles in the room.Yue Xingwen asked everyone to make instant noodles for lunch, and then gathered in the corner of the construction site to collect clues.

Yue Xingwen briefly summed up the information he heard: "Zhao Liang's father fell from a building, his mother was in a car accident, his uncle went out to work to support him these years, the two uncles and nephews rarely meet each other, Zhao Liang went to Internet cafes with a group of gangsters every day, and failed to pass the exam. University, so my uncle took me to the construction site to help and learn crafts.”

Liu Zhaoqing said: "We went to talk to Zhao Liang. He was very emotional. Uncle's death hit him hard. He said that his uncle was his only relative. Doesn't he act like a faux pas?"

Zhang Xiaonian nodded and said, "His eyes are swollen from crying. If he is the murderer, his acting skills are really good."

Jiang Pingce asked sharply, "Are there any signs of abuse on his body?"

Liu Zhaoqing said: "I found several bruises."

Ke Shaobin asked in a low voice, "Is it a hickey?"

Xu Yishen looked at him with a smile: "Junior Brother Ke seems to understand it very well?"

Ke Shaobin blushed: "I'm just asking. To find out the motive of the crime, if there are strange marks on A Liang's body, it is reasonable to infer that his uncle abused him, he killed his uncle, and obtained compensation and property inheritance rights." ?”

Liu Zhaoqing said: "Judging from my medical student's point of view, those bruises were caused by injuries. He said that the surnamed Yan in his dormitory had a bad temper. He was punched twice because he woke him up by snoring in his sleep. He was so scared that he moved out to sleep."

Yue Xingwen thought for a moment, and said: "In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for Zhao Liang's presence in the building. The person who lives with him is named Yan Kai, and he is domineering and bullying at the construction site because he knows Mr. Zhang himself. Newcomer. Ah Liang was beaten, so he moved to the building to play on the floor, maybe he didn't know that his uncle would fall?"

Jiang Pingce agreed: "Zhao Liang's suspicion has indeed been lowered. Brother Liu, let's keep in touch with him, and see if he is really sad about his uncle's death, or is it a show."

Liu Zhaoqing said: "No problem."

Yue Xingwen looked at the other teammates: "What do you find?"

Lin Manluo said: "I asked Qin Lu about all the female workers on the construction site, and they all had a good opinion of Zhao Xuemei. Zhao Xuemei is 30 years old, unmarried, and has a sick grandmother at home. The conditions are not very good, but she is beautiful and hardworking. She is also good at cooking, and it is said that many bachelors on the construction site are interested in her. She is mainly responsible for cooking for everyone on the construction site."

Qin Lu added: "It's not the first time she's gone out in the middle of the night. Some people gossip that she's probably having a private meeting with someone."

Zhuo Feng said: "Let's check Long Rui. Long Rui is a famous smoker and can smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. No one has confirmed whether he went out to smoke at 4:[-] in the morning, but there was indeed a lot of ash at the scene. However, We asked his roommate, Long Rui and Zhao Dayong are not familiar at all, electricians and cement workers don't work together."

Xu Yishen said: "Zhao Qiang insisted on going to the bathroom by himself, without witnesses. But we heard private discussions among some workers, someone saw Zhao Qiang and Zhao Dayong chatting alone in the underground garage a few days ago, and they seemed to be arguing about something."

Yue Xingwen sorted out all these clues, and looked at Ke Shaobin: "Did you find anything in the underground garage?"

Ke Shaobin immediately turned on the laptop and showed everyone a three-dimensional image.

Xiaotu scanned the entire garage and modeled a 3D panorama of the underground garage in the computer. Ke Shaobin then drew the best route to kill and escape based on Jiang Pingce's analysis in the morning.

Ke Shaobin pointed to the map and explained: "The place where the deceased fell was in Area C of Xinyue Building. If the murderer was not Zhao Liang but escaped after killing someone, he would come down this staircase and enter the second floor of the underground garage. Then take an L-shape to the right below the pedestrian street, then go straight through this area, and finally go out from the manhole cover.”

Jiang Pingce praised: "It is indeed the path with the shortest distance and the shortest time, which can avoid surveillance."

Yue Xingwen said: "Have you checked along this road?"

Qin Miao replied: "The underground garage was dark, and Xin Yan used an alcohol lamp to light it. We searched in a blanket manner and walked back and forth several times, but found no useful clues, not even a hair."

It seems that the murderer was very cautious and did not leave any evidence during the operation.

Zhao Xuemei did not have the conditions to commit the crime. She was the one who woke everyone up by screaming. She ran back and forth in the underground passage twice, and then went to the scene to scream. There was too little time.Long Rui did not know the deceased and had no motive for committing the crime.

Zhao Liang and Zhao Qiang, these two people from Zhaojia Village, could they be the murderers?
