Doling man

As soon as they returned to the police station, Lin Le and Zhao Lianxin carried several large boxes and stacked them on the table.

Lin Le said: "Cheng Dui, the video recordings have been brought back from the property, and all the news written by Wu Lan are here." As he spoke, he took out a pile of newspapers and handed them to Cheng Huan.

Cheng Huan turned it over and asked, "So little?"

Lin Le said: "In recent years, the Internet and new media have been very developed, and the paper media has become more and more sluggish. They are highly oriented, and there are not many things that can be reported. However, she recently had a piece of news that was quite sensational. At that time Many websites have been transferred, and later they made a follow-up report. I just found out that it was written by her."

Li Chengtian picked up a newspaper casually, and muttered: "Life is endless, rights protection is endless—unscrupulous foreman defaults on wages, 300 workers ask for 13 months' salary?"

"The title is good." Cheng Huan nodded, "However, there are a lot of news about the people's livelihood, why is it such a sensation?"

Lin Le said: "The construction of roads and demolition of buildings in the past two years is very subtle. This time, it just happened. After the first phase of work, the workers not only can't get any money, but also the compensation for the family members who have moved away. Maybe it's yellow. It was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and you don't know the media? You always feel that you are very righteous. In fact, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement. The relevant units acquiesced, and they followed suit, and only when something happened did they know that the shit pot was pinned on others."

"Others?" Cheng Huan glanced at Lin Le.

"Cheng Dui, who smells like shit, who do you think it is?"

"Hmph..." Zhao Lianxin tried her best to hold back, but she accidentally laughed.Cheng Huan gave him a kick when he heard the sound, and he quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make any more noise.

Cheng Huan said disgustedly: "Stop talking nonsense, who is this foreman? Where does he live? Have you found out?"

The keyboard beeped for a while, and Lin Le said, "I found it. His name is Lin Defu, and his address is No. 2, Unit 5, Building [-], Caitou Street. Huh?" Lin Le stared at the map on the computer and hesitated for a while.

Li Chengtian leaned over to take a look and said, "This address is very close to the two crime scenes, Lin Le, you should also check the item that owes workers wages."

"Okay... the news is very cryptic, I'll call the relevant department immediately."

Cheng Huan stood up and said, "It should be the unfinished building." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Chengtian, got up and went out, Li Chengtian smiled at everyone, and quickly followed.

Zhao Lianxin looked at this scene in surprise, and asked Lin Le with his mouth half open: "Fuck, when did they have such a tacit understanding?"

Lin Le raised the corner of his mouth excitedly and said, "Tsk tsk... so much love."

Jiang Haibo watched the two leave, and followed them out together silently. He didn't say much when he came back from the scene, and only yelled when he walked out the door: "Deputy Li..."

The voice sounded really soft, Li Chengtian looked at Cheng Huan, who had gone far away, but stopped, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiang Haibo with a pale face.

"After being so frightened, it's almost time to get off work, why don't you hurry home and rest?"

Jiang Haibo was submissive, and he didn't even dare to look at him when he was talking. After a long time, he finally managed to say: "I... can I go together?"

"You want to investigate the case with us?"

From the first moment Li Chengtian saw Jiang Haibo, if he wasn't in this group, he would definitely understand why such a person appeared in this place.It's not that he didn't doubt it, but the child's innocence sometimes made him feel a little stupid, but it was this stupidity that made him have to give it a few times.He has met too many people, and he feels more relieved when he thinks about it, because with this kind of courage, this IQ is really not something anyone can pretend.

Jiang Haibo nodded, and said cautiously: "Well, I'm going."

Li Chengtian asked: "Why do you want to go?"

"From the time I saw the dead body in the refrigerator... I felt it was my responsibility to help her. Also, I didn't want to be a useless person, I know, from the first day I joined the group, everyone saw Not on me."

Li Chengtian patted Jiang Haibo on the shoulder and said: "Whether it is useful or not is never for others to see, the most important thing is to be yourself. But... your first reason convinced me, let's go, Cheng Dui has been out for a while gone."

"Ah? Good!" Jiang Haibo reacted, his face immediately changed into a look of surprise, and followed Li Chengtian all the way.

"Why so long?" Cheng Huan asked impatiently as soon as Li Chengtian got into the car, and when he heard the rear door open, he glanced at the rear mirror and didn't say anything.

After starting the car, he asked, "Did you understand the content of the meeting just now?"

Jiang Haibo nodded quickly, thought for a while and added: "Understood."

"What do you think Lindelford has to do with this case?"

Jiang Haibo thought about it and said: "The victim once wrote a news report that he took workers' wages for no reason, and the news was a sensation, no matter what the real situation is? He must be angry in his heart, so he has a motive for committing the crime."

Cheng Huan drove the car, looked ahead, and said blankly: "Fortunately, it's not all stupid. But the news has been around for a while? Why did you only think of revenge recently? This does not meet the elements of a vendetta murder case. Generally, unless it is The backlog caused by long-term mental or physical abuse, and the psychological revenge caused by emotions will decrease over time."

Jiang Haibo scratched his head and said cautiously: "That's why we're going to investigate and see what's going on? Maybe..."

Li Chengtian interrupted him suddenly, saying: "Turn left ahead, it will be closer."

After he finished speaking, taking advantage of Cheng Huan's time to swing the steering wheel, he quickly turned his head and gave Jiang Haibo a wink.I thought in my heart that this brat is really worrying, and I don't even know how to accept it when I see it.

"Maybe what?" Cheng Huan asked.

"Oh...no...it's nothing?" Jiang Haibo thought for a while, and decided to swallow the second part of the sentence "Maybe it's the daily reporter who abused the foreman for a long time."

After a day of tossing, it was almost evening, and the lights were just coming on, only the farthest part of the sky could faintly see some light.

The car passed through the street, entered a small road, and stopped at the gate of the compound.This is the fourth time Cheng Huan has come to this place in the past two days, the building to be demolished next to the bar area on the second ring road.It seems that Lin Defu happened to be one of the households that insisted on not moving.

There are five units in Building No. [-]. They parked their cars and walked to the door of the middle building.A gust of wind blew, and something flew up and directly stuck to Jiang Haibo's face. Jiang Haibo took it off and saw that it was two shining paper money, and his face changed instantly.

There was another gust of wind, and a few pieces of paper money floated up in the air.Jiang Haibo looked up, just in time to see a figure from the back on the balcony, and said, "It seems to be that one. Throwing paper money directly in the yard is too immoral."

Li Chengtian said: "It is said that paper money can help the souls of the dead lead the way, so generally, if there is a funeral at home, some paper money will be sprinkled every seven days within 49 days, so that 'they' can go home."

Cheng Huan said coldly: "When a person dies like a lamp goes out, there is no need for any contact after that? What are the 'first seven' and 'tail seven', burning paper and incense, are the self-comfort of living people, in order to satisfy I feel a little regretful. He is dead, so naturally he should go where he should go, why do you mention 'going home'?"

Jiang Haibo followed them, went straight upstairs, and said, "Captain Cheng, so you believe in ghosts? I thought you solved so many cases, but you don't believe this."

Cheng Huan said: "Life and death are impermanent, facts are facts."

Li Chengtian was listening from the side, always feeling a little startled, one of these two people asked boldly, and the other answered frankly.

Just as they were talking, they had reached the third floor.This building consists of two households, one on the left and one on the left, all of which are old-fashioned steel anti-theft doors.It was almost evening, and the sun was shining into the corridor. Li Chengtian lowered his head, taking advantage of the last bit of light, just in time to see half a piece of paper money stuck in the crack of the left door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A man opened the door and poked his head out, carefully looking outside.

Li Chengtian took out his ID and said, "Hi, we are from the Municipal Serious Crime Squad. We would like to ask you to assist in the investigation."

"Crime crime team? I... I didn't break the law!" The man became a little anxious when he heard this.

"Please open the door first." Cheng Huan's voice sounded a little cold, but also revealed an inviolable majesty. The man thought about it and opened the door.

A small living room, an old-fashioned layout of two bedrooms and one living room.A round table and a row of rag sofas filled the house. Next to the door was a mirror that blocked the entire wall. Next to the mirror was the bedroom.

Li Chengtian asked: "Are you Lin Defu?"

The man was slightly fatter, with green stubble on his lips, and he looked like he hadn't taken care of himself for a while. He nodded and said, "I am, please sit down."

Seeing them sitting down, Lin Defu moved a chair and placed it beside the sofa. He glanced past the faces of the three people and said, "Did something happen to you guys so late?"

Cheng Huan said: "City Daily reporter Wu Lan was murdered, and her body was found this morning. She had written a report about you before the accident, and there was a lot of repercussions at that time, so we want to know about the situation at that time."

"Wu Lan?" Lin Defu fisted his hand slightly, then slowly let go and said, glanced at Cheng Huan cautiously and said, "You don't doubt that I killed her, do you?"

There was a brief silence in the air, Cheng Huan stared at him without speaking.

Seeing Cheng Huan's silence, Lin Defu gradually became flustered: "I..."

Jiang Haibo couldn't bear to see him embarrassed, and comforted him: "Don't worry, we just need to understand the situation." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Chengtian covering his face with his hands.

Cheng Huan stared at Lin Defu and asked, "Why do you think we suspect that you killed her?"

A look of astonishment flashed across Lin Defu's face. After a while, he relaxed a little and said, "Wu Lan's report ruined my whole life, my job, and even my family." He said He paused for a while, tried his best to endure the grievances in his heart, lowered his head, and continued, "These houses, including the unfinished buildings in front of the business district, were all taken away by a real estate company in other provinces, because they are cross-regional. , They split it up as soon as they won the project, I am a foreman, and I still live in this area, I heard the news earlier, and I spent a lot of money to take this job."

"Who knew that the real estate company had an accident, and the wages of the workers were delayed. Several workers contacted the company, but the company played a rogue and said that the payment had been settled long ago, implying that I had embezzled the money. Then the resident The office also moved away, and the workers kept asking me for money, how could I have any money? Later, whoever brought this up to the reporter, so...that report was published."

"You hate Wu Lan?" Cheng Huan asked.

Lin Defu looked up, and the sharpness in his eyes was clear: "Of course I hate her. After that report was published, no one believed me anymore, even... even my brothers in the engineering team thought I had stolen the project They have been chasing me from the construction site to home. My money was invested in the early stage when I took over the project. During that time, I couldn’t even live. Because of Wu Lan, at that time, all TV news websites It’s my report, and I can’t even find relatives and friends to turn around.” Tears swirled slightly in Lin Defu’s eyes, a middle-aged man who had gone through vicissitudes was probably left silent, he raised his sleeve and lowered his head quietly to wipe it.

Jiang Haibo took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, and was about to reach out to hand it over to Lin Defu, but was dragged down by Li Chengtian. When Li Chengtian looked up, he saw Cheng Huan looking at him with extremely gloomy eyes.

There is a grievance, and a debt has an owner. As long as a man is willing to confess, it is not too late.Therefore, Li Chengtian completely resigned himself to Jiang Haibo's matter. He grabbed Jiang Haibo and said, "Cheng Dui, let's take a look around here and wait for you downstairs."
