Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 1183 Death of Actress (4)
"I don't understand why you want to work with a monthly salary of only 3500 yuan. You can endure hardships and stand hard work. You can work as a worker in any factory and your monthly salary is more than 5000 yuan." Zhou Ting couldn't help but ask. He thought it was difficult to support his family with a monthly salary of 3500 yuan. .

"I have wanted to be an actor since I was a child. I think that as long as I study hard from professional actors and accumulate acting experience, I can become an actor one day, even if I have to be a supporting actor for the rest of my life. My wife also supports me in pursuing my dream. Therefore, I would rather be a prop manager than change jobs." His eyes were bright and firm.

Jiang Yiming took out an evidence bag and showed it to Xie Li. It contained the pistol that killed Lu Hong.After he finished reading, Jiang Yiming asked: "Is this the pistol you gave to Lu Hong at that time?"

"No, absolutely not. This pistol is more than 100 grams heavier than the prop pistol. The texture of the prop pistol is very poor. You don't need to look at it. Just close your eyes and weigh it in your hand."

"No one else was with you when you were guarding the props on the carriage?"

"Yes, he was the driver Lin Hua. He was sleeping on the steering wheel at the time. I was sitting in the car and watching the TV series "The Illustrated Book of Crime Hunters" on my mobile phone."

"Why do you think the prop pistol turned into a real gun?"

"I don't know. Maybe Lu Hong had her gun switched by her or her friend on the way from the prop car to the scene." He thought for a while and said.

Jiang Yiming thought what he said made sense and found nothing suspicious about him, so he handed him a business card and walked out of his dormitory.They were going to question Lin Hua to see if Xie Li was lying.The more difficult thing about this case is that there are no monitors installed nearby.

"Captain Jiang, do you think Xie Li lied?" Zhou Ting asked after arriving on the first floor.

"It doesn't look like he's lying, but we can't rule out his suspicion. He has a motive and an opportunity... We need to conduct an in-depth investigation on him. It's best to start with Xie Li's social connections to see if he buys on the black market. Pass the revolver."

"The market price of an imitation revolver should be around 10000 yuan. How can he afford it with his small salary?" Zhou Ting was a little unconvinced.

"It's hard to say. Many small officials only earn a few thousand yuan a month and can afford to drive luxury cars and live in villas. How can this be said? Maybe Xie Li has other income. Let's ask Huang Zhong and see what he thinks about Xie Li. My opinion." After Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting got in the car, they drove towards the film and television building.

The Film and Television Building is located at No. 147 Huanshi Middle Road. Most companies here are engaged in film, television, audio, and radio production, as well as actor training and reception.Tuoye Film and Television Company is located on the 15th floor of the Film and Television Building. After parking the car, they took the elevator to the 15th floor and, led by the front desk lady, came to Huang Zhong's office.

Huang Zhong welcomed them and invited them to sit down and talk.Jiang Yiming asked Huang Zhong if he knew about Xie Li's social background?He said he didn't know anything about it, but there was a man named Hong Liang who had a better relationship with Xie Li and he could be called to ask.Jiang Yiming agreed.So Huang Zhong called Hong Liang and asked him to come to the office. Hong Liang said he would be there soon.

After a while, Hong Liang came, and Huang Zhong walked away knowingly and let them talk.Hong Liang is a young man, about the same age as Xie Li, of medium height, thin, with a delicate face and regular features. He works as a supporting actor in the company.

"Hello, Mr. Hong, we are from the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Bureau. We are here to inquire about the situation. I heard that you have a good rapport with Li Li, right?" Jiang Yiming sat opposite him.

"Yes, Xie Li is ambitious, hard-working, quick-thinking, and has strong expressive skills. We often chat while drinking. Although his knowledge is not specialized, he is very broad. Chatting with him is a great experience. A kind of enjoyment.”

"He should prefer making friends, right?"

"Yes, he is outgoing, enthusiastic towards people, and has a chivalrous demeanor. He would rather suffer a loss than help his friends. One time, he and I went to a food stall to drink, and we had a quarrel with the next table. The other party saw that there were only two of us. They came up together and beat us, but he told me to run away and he stepped in behind. Eventually he was injured and went to the hospital. From then on, I looked at him differently." He spoke in a standard Beijing accent.

"Does he associate with gangster friends?"

"Yes, as long as someone is kind to him, he will repay the other person. Although he has no money, his parents are state cadres and often support him. Therefore, he still treats friends to dinner in a small restaurant. Those who can afford it.”

"Did you ever hear that he wanted to buy a gun?"

"This...I can't remember." He lowered his head and replied.

Jiang Yiming saw his hesitation, thought for a while and said: "Mr. Hong, you know that it is against the law to shield a suspect. If we find out that you are concealing the facts, we have the power to take measures against you, such as criminal detention. You can think about it after you think about it." .”

"Well, I said, one time he was drunk and said he wanted to buy a gun. He asked me if I had any gang friends. I said no and asked him what he wanted to buy a gun for. He said he wanted to kill someone. I asked him who he wanted to kill. ? He refused to answer. I advised him not to do stupid things. Buying a gun is illegal even if it is not used to kill people. Later, he agreed to me." "When did this happen?"

"About half a month ago, right? I can't remember the exact date."

"Does he have any friends in the underworld?"

"He said he knew a man named Weiliang. He made his fortune by buying and selling by force. He has a strong underworld background."

Jiang Yiming ended the conversation. Zhou Ting looked up Wei Liang's household registration information on the police website. He was born at No. 14, Hongqi Street, Jiangbei District. Zhou Ting worked as a police officer at the Hongqi Street Police Station. He called Lu Qing, the police officer there. Ask him about the situation.

It turns out that Wei Liang is now a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference of Jiangbei District and the general manager of Prospect Real Estate Company. Although the company is not big, it has tens of millions of assets. He often donates money and materials to the Charity Federation, and the company also pays profits and taxes normally, which is relatively good. Successful businessman.

Ten years ago, Weiliang was the boss of the generation in Hongqi Street. He acquired a lot of resources, such as land and forests, by entangling his younger brothers and threatening competitors.Later, under the guidance of an expert, he started to do legitimate business and became successful because he had made many connections in the past.

On the surface, it seems that the underworld has been bleached, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, and his true nature cannot be seen.Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting, led by Lu Qing, went directly to Weiliang's home to find him.

Wei Liang was having lunch. When he saw them, he quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks and asked them to sit down and make tea.Jiang Yiming asked straight to the point: "Mr. Wei, do you know Xie Li?" Wei Liang is 41 years old. He is tall, tall, and has pretty features, much like a Northeasterner.

"Oh, I know him. He is my cousin's son. He works as a prop manager at Tuoye Film and Television Company. Oh, he is a disgraced cousin. What happened to him? Did he break any law?" He looked at Jiang Yiming doubtfully.

"No, through investigation, we found that he wanted to buy a black gun, and he came to you. Is this true?"

"No, he once said that he wanted to buy... controlled knives, such as crossbows. He asked me if there was any way. Of course I said there was no way. Even if there was a way, I would not help him. I am now a legitimate enterprise. Home is no longer the big brother it used to be. My legal advisor taught me a lot about law."

"Then will he find someone else to buy controlled knives?"

"I don't know about that. He has a good relationship with the security captain of my company. Why don't you ask him?" He was obviously trying to shirk.Jiang Yiming asked him to tell him the security captain's mobile phone number, and Wei Liang reported it casually, and Jiang Yiming entered the number into his mobile phone.

After Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting left Weiliang's home, they went to Weiliang's company to find the security captain Chen Shengming.At first Chen Shengming refused to admit that Xie Li entrusted him to buy a pistol. Finally, under Jiang Yiming's pressure, he finally admitted that Xie Li gave him a deposit of 3000 yuan and asked him to help buy a revolver. However, Chen Shengming has not yet done so. Help him buy a pistol, because he also wants to ask an Internet expert named Wei Jie to buy it on the deep web.He only charged a handling fee of 3000 yuan.

"When did this happen?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"Let me check the Alipay transfer record." He took out his mobile phone, opened the Alipay transfer list, looked at it and said, "It was 3:5 in the middle of the night on March 11." After that, he handed the phone to Jiang Yiming, who looked at it. After that, he took a screenshot of the transfer record and sent it to his mobile phone. Then he left Chen Shengming's security room and went to find Xie Li.

In the face of the facts, Xie Li admitted that he wanted to ask Chen Shengming to buy a revolver that was exactly the same as the prop pistol, because Lu Hong's insult to him completely shattered his self-esteem, and he must take revenge, otherwise, he would never be able to let go for the rest of his life.

However, before he could buy the pistol, Lu Hong shot himself.He felt that God was helping him and was extremely happy, but he couldn't show it.Jiang Yiming didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world, so he had to put great pressure on Xie Li, but Xie Li refused to give in and firmly denied it.Jiang Yiming had no choice but to end his questioning.

Jiang Yiming told Huang Zhong and Liu Qiu about Xie Li's situation, hoping that they could persuade Xie Li to tell the truth, because Xie Li entrusted Chen Shengming to buy a revolver but did not buy it, and the murderer bought the revolver and killed Lu Hong. This kind of thing The probability is too small, and the only reason is that Xie Li lied.

"Captain Jiang, I think there is a way to prove whether Xie Li is lying." Zhou Ting said as he drove back to the team.

"What's your opinion?" Jiang Yiming was also thinking about this question, but he couldn't figure out how to prove that Xie Li was not lying. Zhou Ting thought of it first.
