Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 175 Red Line
Don't say it, don't say it!

Lao Xu has actually thought about this.

He was transferred from another place. Although he had some concerns about investigating Li Xueyi and Hong Dingguo, it was only because of their identities. He had no sympathy for these two people.

Unlike Director Zhong and Zeng Honglin, they used to use a ladle to scoop rice.

The reason why Director Shen wanted to make it clear and not allow the use of Li Yancheng's special interrogation method was that he was worried that he would not be able to convince the public in the future.

As for whether those two have problems or how big their problems are, it has nothing to do with him. He was just appointed to take over in a time of crisis. Even if these two people have problems, it is impossible for the big stick to hit him on the head in the future.

But all investigations must be conducted in accordance with the law, because they are not rootless and he does not want to give others any handle to attack them.

After listening to Director Shen's words, Lao Xu nodded: "I understand, leader. I promise that our investigation will be legal and compliant, and the evidence will be solid."

"Okay, Lao Zhong, you two can discuss the details of the investigation. If you need my help, feel free to contact me."

After saying that, Director Shen also stood up and prepared to leave. He didn't intend to listen to the specific task plan. After the red line was drawn, he only wanted to see the results.

"Okay Chief."

Seeing Director Shen stand up and prepare to leave, Director Zhong and the other three also stood up. After seeing their leader off, they came back and sat down again.

"Tell me, what are your plans for the next step? Are you going to focus on these two people, or go to both? By the way, Guishan, tell me what's going on with Xiaotong and Yancheng first?"

"Xiaotong is still interrogating the woman who had an affair with Pan Youzhi, and Yancheng is helping to look for clues in the evidence room.

Just before we came here, Yan Cheng and Comrade Sun Nanping from the evidence room found some vague clues.

They found a record of water and electricity bill payment in the notebook that Pan Youzhi used when he participated in the study organized by the instrument factory before his death.

According to the investigation, Pan Youzhi did not have any other houses outside the factory. After receiving the report, Xiaotong arranged for someone to take Pan Youzhi's photo and start a large-scale investigation. The first part will focus on Wenchong District. "

"why?"

"Is such that……"

After listening to Xu Guishan's explanation, Director Zhong nodded indifferently, did not continue the topic, and turned back to ask about their next plan.

"Hong Lin, please report our preliminary plan to the leader."

"Yes"

……

After discovering something was wrong, the middle-aged man's first reaction was to leave Beijing. He was afraid of Li Yancheng's special interrogation method.

Although he knew in his heart that with his current status, no one would dare to do anything to him without real evidence, he still didn't dare to gamble.

He only has one life, and if he loses the bet, he will have to reincarnate.

As for plans and tasks, that’s all bullshit. Nothing is more important than his life, including his wife and children.

After buying cigarettes and returning to the unit as if nothing had happened, he first arranged all the work that needed to be arranged, and then made up an excuse that he wanted to visit a grassroots unit in the suburbs. He didn't even ask for a driver, and drove away from the unit by himself.

……

The captain of the second action team of the first operation and his men only visited two neighborhood committees in Wen Chong before they found their target.

According to the auntie from the neighborhood committee, the house did not belong to Pan Youzhi. The owner was Liu Shunfei, who was assigned to Dongshan Province by his unit for work and had to stay there for three years. It was he who entrusted the house to Pan Youzhi to take care of.

As for what the relationship between the two is, the aunt from the neighborhood committee is not clear.

Because Pan Youzhi did not come here often, in the past two years, according to the neighbors, they had only seen this person three times in total. Every time he came back, he would clean the house, pay the water and electricity bills and leave.

The last time I came back was probably in November last year.

There are also siheyuans here, but they look much messier than those in Meishandong Hutong where Li Yancheng lives. It would be more accurate to call them shantytowns.

The house is not big, only a dozen square meters, and there are not many furniture in the house. No one has been here for several months, and there is thick dust everywhere.

After a careful inspection, we finally found that there was something wrong with the bricks on the floor just after entering the house.

After prying up the brick on the ground, a wooden box that was more than 50 centimeters long, wide and 30 centimeters high appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the wooden box, the captain of the second team breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have made a discovery.

Immediately, he arranged for someone to drive the wooden box back to the office and hand it over to the leader, while he and his men continued to inspect the room.

The appearance of this wooden box lifted Su Xiaotong's spirits, but after opening it, he was disappointed by the contents inside.

The box doesn't look big, but it's quite heavy, weighing more than 100 kilograms. It turns out that there is a box of neatly stacked yellow croakers inside.

It is valuable enough, but the problem is that what he wants are clues, evidence pointing to the mastermind. These things are useless and it is impossible for him to share any of them.

Li Yancheng knew that they had found another house of Pan Youzhi over there, and also knew that they had found a wooden box. He wanted to go over and take a look, but the small pile of things in front of him made it impossible for him to get away.

He is playing a game of confetti.

The pieces were torn into too many pieces, and the scraps had been exposed to the rain and had dried up. He could only pick them up carefully with tweezers, for fear that they would accidentally break them into even more pieces. He dared not even breathe.

There was not much scraps of paper in this pile, and even if they were put together they would not be very big, but there were words on them, and these scraps of paper were found behind the house where Pan Youzhi lived.

There must be a reason why it was torn into so many pieces and thrown back.

So Li Yancheng decided to piece the paper together, even if it would take time.

As a result, he didn't even have time to eat lunch. He sat here for more than eight hours before he could see something, because the scraps of paper were incomplete.

"It's out. It's indeed a train ticket. The date is January 18th of this year. If nothing goes wrong, the person holding this ticket should be coming from Yangcheng to Beijing."

At this time, Li Yancheng was wearing a large mask on his face, holding a magnifying glass in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and it was already dark outside.

As for the others, Lao Xu, Su Xiaotong, Investigation Section Chief Tian Linjun, Deputy Section Chief Sun He, Team Leader Zeng Honglin, and Sun Nanping from the evidence room, they all stayed far away from here, for fear that they would move around or create a breeze by accident and mess up the pile of confetti.

When they heard Li Yancheng tell the contents of the shredded paper, they all frowned deeply.

Carefully leaving the table and putting the flashlight and tweezers aside, Li Yancheng walked over to where the others were sitting. He then untied his mask and took several deep breaths.

"Yancheng, there's still food in the cafeteria, go eat something first."

"Don't worry, I'm too hungry now. I don't feel hungry anymore. Let's talk about it later."

Li Yancheng waved his hand, picked up the cigarette on the table and lit one for himself.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and this was the first time he had left the table since he had started to piece together the pile of scraps of paper at one o'clock in the afternoon.

This makes one feel that youth is a great benefit. His kidney function is strong and he is still too lazy to pee even now.

"I have a guess." After lighting a cigarette and taking two puffs, he spoke again.

His words attracted everyone's attention.

"Everyone should still remember the female corpse. Her identity has not been confirmed yet. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Pan Youzhi who dumped the body.

It was the night of the 20th, early morning of the 21st, and the train ticket was for the 18th, which was just right in terms of timing.

I'll check with the instrument factory tomorrow. If no one from them happened to come back from Guangzhou during that time period, then this ticket is most likely that woman's.

You can send the photos of the body to Yangcheng and ask for their assistance in the investigation. If a living person is missing for such a long time, no matter what the reason, someone will definitely call the police.

If it's really her, maybe we can find out something by following the clues. Don't forget, those fakes were also found in Guangzhou, which is close to Hong Kong Island."

Li Yancheng's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. After working on it for such a long time, they finally got some vague clues, which was much better than getting a piece of waste paper.

"Okay, you guys go discuss it first. I need to go to the bathroom. My bladder is about to explode."

After saying that, he ran out in a flash.

When he came back, only Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong were left in the room.

The expressions on their faces were very solemn, as if they had encountered some difficulties. "What's wrong, two leaders? Are you not ready to leave work? I have to make an agreement first. I won't stay up late tonight. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I worked hard for a long time today. I am already exhausted."

"No, I definitely won't stay up tonight. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria and have something to eat. We can talk while we eat."

Lao Xu slapped his thigh and stood up, and Su Xiaotong also stood up.

Li Yancheng looked at the two of them curiously, without asking any more questions. He just picked up his tweezers and flashlight from the table over there and walked out of the evidence room.

……

"plum……"

Li Yancheng, who had just taken a few bites of rice, suddenly widened his eyes after hearing what Lao Xu said, and the two steamed buns in his mouth almost fell out because he didn't close his mouth.

He looked at Lao Xu, then at Su Xiaotong who was also sitting opposite him. After confirming that it didn't seem like a joke, he lowered his voice and asked with an incredulous look on his face.

"Two leaders, have you found any evidence? Your own analysis alone is not enough."

"In Pan Youzhi's other room, after checking, we found another small box, which contained several certificates and several official seals of other units."

"Several official seals? Are they all fake?"

"Yes, they are all fake, but if you don't look carefully, even the leaders of those units will mistakenly think they are real."

"But what does this have to do with Li Xueyi? The fake official seal was so similar, so it must have been made by one of the guys who carved the seal, right?"

Li Yancheng was a little confused. He couldn't understand why a few official seals would make them focus their attention completely on Li Xueyi.

He also looked at the circle drawn by Lao Xu and Zeng Honglin. Although he agreed with their speculations, they were just speculations after all. Solving the case depends on evidence.

For a person like Li Xueyi and his identity, it is wishful thinking to expect him to confess by speculation.

Forget about whether you can catch him or not, the people above will spray you to death first.

Lao Xu and his team drew a circle based on the existing clues and some speculations, and circled two people, one was Li Xueyi and the other was Hong Dingguo. No matter who they are, they cannot be easily moved.

Only half a day had passed, but they had already set their sights on Li Xueyi, which made him a little puzzled.

And what Su Xiaotong said next made him stunned.

"Yancheng, you don't know that when Li Xueyi was young, he learned how to carve seals from someone else. I still have a personal seal that he carved for me using Shoushan stone.

Among the seals found in that room, there was also a private seal, which was one of the two fake identities Pan Youzhi prepared for himself. The characters on that private seal were exactly the same as the characters on the seal that Li Xueyi carved for me, with two subtle traces that were habitual. "

Nowadays, seals are carved by hand bit by bit by seal engravers using a chisel, unlike in later generations where seals are carved by computer and can be carved in batches with identical seals.

Nowadays, it is impossible to carve a seal that is exactly the same, even if it is carved by the same person, because the movement of the carving knife, the changes in the material in the hands, and the strength used cannot be exactly the same.

But a person's habits formed over decades will basically not change.

Li Yancheng nodded in sudden realization. So that's how it is.

"So what are we going to do now? I don't think the higher-ups will approve an arrest warrant based on this alone. At most, his suspicion will increase. The higher-ups will ask us to continue investigating. If we want to arrest him, we must find particularly strong evidence."

He was right, Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong also thought so.

But the current situation is that it is currently impossible to find strong evidence.

They didn't even dare to send anyone to follow Li Xueyi because he was an expert in this area.

Li Yancheng suddenly looked at the two leaders opposite him in disbelief.

"You...you guys are not planning anything, are you? I can tell you, that's impossible. Even if you point a gun at my head, I wouldn't dare to do that."

He suddenly realized why these two people came with him to have dinner.

Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong wanted to secretly arrest Li Xueyi, and then let Li Yancheng use that special interrogation method to interrogate him, so as to execute him first and report later.

But Li Yancheng didn't dare to do that.

The two guys on the opposite side have someone protecting them. If Li Xueyi can't get anything out of him, and they are indeed innocent, they may be punished and transferred out of the unit.

He has no one to protect him, and as the final executor, if he really gets into trouble in the future, he might be exiled to Ningguta.

A good comrade has been wronged, and we must give him an explanation.

Li Yancheng almost dropped the steamed bun in his hand and jumped up. He would never agree to this matter no matter what, even if the case was not solved.

Anyway, there is someone taller to hold up the sky if it falls, so he can't possibly be the scapegoat.

The two people opposite seemed to have anticipated his reaction, and there was no disappointment on their faces when they heard him say this.

Su Xiaotong smiled and waved his hands: "Don't get excited, we don't plan to use this method. Even if I want to solve the case, I can't use illegal means, not to mention that Li Xueyi is my former leader. I would rather find some evidence to prove that this case has nothing to do with him."

"Then what do you two want to see me for?" Li Yancheng asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"Li Xueyi has an office in the Municipal Bureau and another in the Criminal Investigation Division 2. He often stays in the Division 2 instead of going to the bureau.

Isn't your brother also in the Second Division? We don't dare to send anyone to follow him, and we are not confident about the other people in the Second Division. Can you ask your brother to help pay more attention when he is at work? Just pay attention when you are at work, there is no need to deliberately follow him."

Su Xiaotong's words made Li Yancheng frown deeply.

He didn't want to drag his good brother into this. If he was not careful, it would be a big problem.

Seeing him eating with his head down and not saying anything, Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong looked at each other and decided not to force him anymore, and stood up at the same time.

Lao Xu leaned forward and patted Li Yancheng on the shoulder: "Eat slowly, and go back to rest early after eating."

At this time Li Yancheng spoke.

"At most I'll ask my brother to help keep an eye on him, but I won't ask him to keep a close eye on him. Zhihai and I are both small people with no power or influence and no one to rely on.

I am alone, so it doesn't matter if there is a little danger. He has a wife, children and sister, who can't withstand any storms. I won't let him take any risks."

"Just be careful when you're at work."

Su Xiaotong showed a hint of surprise on his face, and he said excitedly: "Yancheng, after this case is over, no matter what the result is, I will definitely find a way to promote your brother to a higher level."

"Then I'd like to thank you on his behalf. Okay, you two leaders can go do whatever you need to do. I'll go back to rest after I finish my meal. I can hardly open my eyes."

"Okay, then we won't disturb you while you eat. Go back and rest afterward."

After saying this, Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong walked towards the cafeteria door.

They were already at the door when Su Xiaotong suddenly remembered something. He stopped and turned to look at Li Yancheng and said.

"Yan Cheng..."

"Ok?"

"Although Pan Youzhi is dead, we still don't know why he wanted to kill you. If this was an order from the mastermind, after he dies, the mission might be passed on to someone else. You still need to be vigilant when you go in and out, and don't take it lightly."

"I understand, thanks for reminding me."

"Let's go"

"Two leaders, take care."

Watching the two men walk out of the cafeteria, Li Yancheng lowered his head and began to eat his meal in big mouthfuls.

Li Xueyi's face appeared involuntarily in my mind.

The case has reached this point and there is really no way to move forward.

Whoever the mastermind was, he did a very clean job of cleaning up the mess.

Pan Youzhi, who was most likely to know the identity of the mastermind, died. The clues were completely cut off here.

But what Li Yancheng couldn't understand the most was why the black hand thought that Pan Youzhi would not leave a message somewhere to expose him?
