Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 324 Bold speculation
"Dacheng, did you ask Dashan to come here to ask about Xiaowu?"

"That's right, Zhenghui. I was just about to tell you. Xiao Wu had an accident. He's dead. His body was found this afternoon. Come on, come in with me and tell me what you know about Xiao Wu."

"No...no one is gone?"

Duan Zhenghui was also dumbfounded. He stood there like a wooden chicken, as if he had not heard anything Li Yancheng said afterwards.

His reaction also attracted the attention of the neighbors who were chatting at the door of No. 20 courtyard.

Li Yancheng raised his hand and patted his arm. After he came to his senses, he winked at him, signaling him to be careful, and then walked towards the yard.

The news of Xiao Wu's death will definitely spread throughout the area tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and someone will come to Xiao Wu's house to investigate, but he doesn't want this news to spread from him.

Duan Zhenghui reacted quickly and followed him into Yard No. 20, leaving the neighbors whispering there, guessing what had happened.

Seeing this, Jin Zhihai hurriedly changed the subject and started talking to the neighbors about something else.

Duan Zhenghui's understanding of Xiao Wu is not as deep as Yue Dashan's.

After all, Xiao Wu and Yue Dashan have become brothers, and he and Duan Zhenghui are just helping him to find out some underworld news, so it is more like a relationship of mutual benefit.

Not long after, he left Yard No. 20, leaving Li Yancheng alone. He returned to the house, sat behind the desk, pulled out a notebook and started writing and drawing on it.

The Guan family mother and son, Zhao Guangrun, Xiao Wu, Liang Qiutao, Li Zhengxi, Sui Donghe, and He Hua, each name appears on the paper.

He used a line to connect the names that might be related to each other, then put down his pen, supported his chin with his hand, and stared quietly at the names on the paper.

It was as if he wanted to use this method to see through the complicated relationship between them.

Xiao Wu, how long will you be sentenced for being caught stealing?

He suddenly remembered what Yue Dashan had mentioned just now, that Xiao Wu was in a bad mood on the 14th night and asked some inexplicable questions.

On the 15th, Zhao Guangrun asked Xiaowu for help. That night, Sui Donghe died and his house was robbed.

Is there any connection here? Could it be...

Thinking of this, he picked up a pen and drew another line through the names of Xiao Wu and Sui Donghe, and wrote the word "steal" on that line, and also put a question mark.

He drew a line between the names of Zhao Guangrun and Sui Donghe, wrote the word "kill", and also put a question mark.

After finishing writing, he put down the pen, propped his chin with his hand, stared at the name on the paper and fell into deep thought.

He didn't know how much time had passed until he was suddenly hugged from behind by a pair of hands and felt something soft on the back of his head, and then he came to his senses.

"Wife, you're back."

"What are you thinking about? You were so lost in thought that you didn't even notice me coming in."

Luo Min bent down and put her face against her man's face, her eyes also falling on the paper.

Li Yancheng pulled her to the front, then picked her up and let her sit on his lap.

"Except for Lotus, the others are all dead. Logically speaking, Lotus should be dead too. Sigh..."

"Are they all dead ghosts?" Luo Min was slightly startled. She raised her head from her man's arms, stretched her neck and looked at the paper on the table again.

"The mother and son of the Guan family, is this person called this name, or are they really mother and son?"

"Mother and Son"

"Seven people died. Did they all die today?"

"No, the earliest one died at the beginning of the month, and the latest one has been dead for almost two days. Only Lotus, who should have died more than ten years ago, suddenly reappeared."

"They are all..."

"It should be all of them. At least they are involved with those people."

After staring blankly at the names on the paper, Luo Min snuggled back into her man's arms, stretched out her arms and hugged his waist tightly, and asked in a somewhat dull voice.

"Dacheng, this is their home too. Why don't they think about making contributions to the construction of their home, but instead only want to destroy it?"

“Maybe they don’t consider this place their home.”

"Then why not just leave here? I heard from Sister Yijuan that some people in the south who can't get there by land will swim to Hong Kong Island. The policy there is that as long as you can get ashore, you can settle down.

If you think this place is not good, then just leave. Why do you want to go wherever you think is good? Why do you want to do something that will cost you your life and make everyone despise you? "

“Haha, you overestimate them. Not everyone who escapes can live a good life. The vast majority still live at the bottom of society, struggling to make ends meet.

Many people can only act tough at home, but when they go out into the world, they are so scared that they poop their pants."

"Eh!" Luo Min grinned in disgust, raised her little head and gave her man a seductive look.

"Hehe" Li Yancheng smiled and lowered his head to peck her little mouth lightly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, wife, let's take a shower and have a rest."

"Put me down."

"I'll carry you out." As he said that, Li Yancheng stood up, holding her sideways in his arms.

"Dacheng" Luo Min stretched out her arms and put them around his neck.

"Ok?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to call you."

"Silly girl"

Li Yancheng, who had already stood up holding her, smiled dotingly, then bent down and kissed his wife's forehead in his arms.

"You said you would still be able to hold me when you are seventy or eighty years old?"

Luo Min put her arms around her husband's neck and looked at him with her big watery eyes.

She had been extremely obsessed ever since what happened on Friday morning.

“It must be possible”

"I'll remember what you said. If you can't hold me by then, I'll let the kids laugh at you for bragging when you were young."

"Yeah, I said, I'll hold you like this for the rest of my life."

"hey-hey"

Smiling foolishly, Luo Min put her ear against her husband's chest, quietly listening to the strong beating of his heart inside.

……

It was past ten o'clock in the evening. Li Yancheng had already started discussing the mysteries of life with his wife, while Su Xiaotong was still in his office struggling with a pile of things on his desk.

These things were collected from Zhao Guangrun's house this afternoon. I don't know whether they are useful or not yet, so I have to check them carefully.

He lit a cigarette for himself, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then put the cup down and picked up the Enicar watch.

Holding the cigarette in his mouth, he picked up a sales receipt with his other hand. It was the receipt for this watch. It was issued in April by a trust store in Yangchao. What was a bit strange was the amount, which was only sixty yuan.

Putting down this ticket, Su Xiaotong picked up another one. This was a ticket for repairing a watch. It was issued a week later than the ticket for buying the watch, and the amount was seventeen yuan.

This is probably why the watch was sold at such a low price. The watch was broken, and the buyer had it repaired after it was sold at a low price. But it is certain that the buyer must have known the leader of the trust store, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to buy it.

There is nothing wrong with this. The reason why Su Xiaotong kept looking at the watch and the ticket was because according to the three previous investigation records, Sui Donghe lost an Enicar watch.

So is this the same watch or two?

There shouldn't be many watches of this brand in the whole of Beijing, and now two suddenly appeared? He was very skeptical.

If it is one, then whose watch is it?

Su Xiaotong judged that the watch he was holding in his hand should belong to Zhao Guangrun. This guy had worked in the Third Department for twenty years, and he would definitely not keep such a valuable thing of unknown origin in his hands.

Thinking of this, he put down his watch, reached out to pick up the red phone on the table and dialed.

The call was picked up quickly.

"Hello, this is the duty room of the Social Affairs Bureau's Operations Division 3."

"I am Su Xiaotong from the First Division."

"Hello, Deputy Director Su. I am Wang Hanxin, the duty officer of the Third Division. Are you looking for our duty leader?"

"No, no, no, no need to look for anyone else, Han Xin, are you familiar with Zhao Guangrun, the chef in your office?"

"Uh... I can't say I'm particularly familiar with him, but I've worked in the Third Division for ten years, so I should be able to get to know him. What do you want to know about him, Director Su?"

Zhao Guangrun is dead, and the murderer has placed so many explosives in his home. The case is now under the charge of the First Department. Even at this late hour, the leader of the First Department called in person to inquire about the situation. Of course, Wang Hanxin will cooperate.

"Did you know that he has an Enicar watch?"

"I know about this. He hosted a banquet for Director Meng of Chaowai Trust Store at the beginning of this year. It was introduced by our director.

Zhao Guangrun did not take the money, nor did he ask for the things Director Meng gave him. Director Meng might have felt embarrassed. It seemed that in April, their store received a watch with some problems, but he did not ask for it to be repaired and sold it to Zhao Laosan at a low price.

After Zhao Laosan bought it, he went to the watch factory’s repair shop to have the watch repaired himself.”

Listening to what Wang Hanxin said on the other end of the phone, Su Xiaotong nodded. He thought it must be a real thing, and Zhao Guangrun would not be stupid enough to keep a watch of unclear origin in his hands.

"Director Su, many people in our department knew about this, and everyone was envious at the time."

Of course I'm envious. It's like buying a full steel watch for about 70 yuan, and I don't even need a ticket, even though it's second-hand.

But a Shanghai-branded all-steel watch costs 120 yuan, and you need a watch ticket. If you don't have a ticket, the cheapest one you can buy at the ghost market will cost you 30 or 40 yuan, which means you have to spend 150 or 160 yuan to buy a watch. The comparison is obvious.

"Han Xin, do you know if Zhao Guangrun usually wears a watch?"

"I haven't really noticed this, Su, how about you wait a moment, I'll go ask the chef on duty, they're together every day so he should know."

"Okay, then don't hang up the phone. I'll wait."

"Ok"

If someone can prove that Zhao Guangrun has been wearing this watch all the time, it means that the watch that Sui Donghe lost really exists.

If no one can prove that he wears it every day...

Su Xiaotong had a bold guess in his mind, that is, could it be inferred that the watch lost by Sui Donghe was actually the one owned by Zhao Guangrun?

So can we also infer that at least the burglary at Sui Donghe’s house on the night of the 15th was done by Zhao Guangrun?

The fact that he dared to steal things at that time shows that he definitely knew that Sui Donghe would not return home at that time. Doesn't that also mean that he knew that Sui would not come back? Taking a step back, Zhao Guangrun is the murderer.

Ugh……

No matter how much you think about it, you still have to look at the evidence.

"Hello, Director Su"

"I'm here, tell me."

"I just asked the chef on duty, and he said that Zhao Laosan seemed to have worn it for only one or two days and then stopped wearing it. He also asked Zhao Laosan, and he said that it was inconvenient to cook with the watch on, and he was afraid of damaging it, so he put it at home.

But he just said that on Saturday, the day before yesterday, when he was making breakfast, he saw Zhao Laosan wearing a watch.

call……

Su Xiaotong let out a breath lightly, his deduction had been partially correct.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Han Xin."

"Don't be polite, Director Su. It's all my duty."

"That's it, no need to tie up the phone line."

"Goodbye, Director Su!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaotong reached out for the cup of water on the table, took a sip of water, then stood up and walked out of the office.

Standing at the door, he stretched lazily, then walked towards the large office of the Investigation Department.

Tonight, except for the people on duty, almost everyone else was outside investigating the explosives. Lao Xu led a team personally, and almost all the staff from the Municipal Public Security Bureau were also dispatched.

So many explosives were found in Zhao Guangrun’s house. Who knows if there are more outside. If this stuff is not investigated thoroughly, no one will be able to sleep at night.

There were three investigators in the office of the Investigation Department, sorting documents at their respective positions. Apart from the sound of flipping papers, the whole place was completely quiet.

Hearing the office door being pushed open, the three of them looked up and saw Su Xiaotong coming in, and they all stood up.

"Where is the case file on Sui Donghe transferred from the Third Division?"

"On Deputy Section Chief Sun's desk."

"Okay, go do your thing."

Walking to Sun He's desk, Su Xiaotong saw the case file of Sui Donghe case at a glance. He reached out and pulled a chair to sit down, then began to look through the case file carefully.

After a while, he found what he was looking for. The home address of Sui Donghe's girlfriend, Zhang Xiaoying, was in Dongsi, East City District, not far from here.

There is also Sui Donghe’s parents’ home, which is at the junction of Yangchao and Dianhai.

He didn't care that it was almost eleven o'clock at night and everyone must have gone to bed. He planned to go and see Zhang Xiaoying right away, and then go find Sui Donghe's parents.

The three of them may be the few people who know more about the watch that Sui Donghe lost.

The case was complicated, and the sudden appearance of so many explosives raised the attention of the case to several levels. Whether it would disturb anyone's rest was no longer a problem he needed to consider.

After copying the two addresses onto paper, he closed the case file and turned to look at the three investigators on duty today in the Investigation Department.

"Zhongyang"

"arrive"

Wang Zhongyang, who was writing something, heard the leader calling his name and raised his head and responded.

"Go drive and come with me."

"Yes"
