Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 504 Investigation
Just when Li Yancheng and his team set out from Qiaonan Commune Police Station, the remaining personnel of the County Bureau's Criminal Police Team, who received the order, found Guo Xiaohu in a card room in less than ten minutes.

"Guo Xiaohu, we are from the criminal police team. We need to consult you about something."

Guo Xiaohu, who was playing cards, turned his head and glanced at the three police officers who walked behind him. He knew the one who spoke first, and he was indeed from the criminal police team. Although he had never seen the other two, he didn't care.

So after taking a look, he turned his head again and spoke casually.

"Eighty thousand, come on, guys, continue. Ignore them."

His reaction startled several people in the room. The three people who were playing cards with him looked at the police officer standing there with a livid face, and were so scared that they dared not continue playing cards.

The few people watching from the side also kept their mouths tightly shut at this time, completely losing the noisy energy they had just had.

"Hey, look at what they are doing, keep going!"

Seeing that they didn't move, Guo Xiaohu urged them again.

Before he could finish his words, one of the two police officers he had never seen before took out his work ID from his pocket, stepped forward to Guo Xiaohu's side and showed it to him.

"We are from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau. We need your cooperation in the investigation. Please come with us."

Municipal Bureau? Headquarters?

The air in the room instantly became more solidified than before, and the few people who were already reluctant to move were so frightened that they didn't even dare to blink.

What a joke, this is the Municipal Bureau headquarters, not the County Bureau. No matter how good you are in Rouhuai, you will be nothing in the city.

The police officer flashed his work ID and put it away without caring whether he could see it clearly or not, and then took out the handcuffs from his waist.

"Guo Xiaohu, do you want to go with us, or do you want us to take you away?"

Guo Xiaohu was completely stunned at this time. He turned his head blankly and looked at the police officer standing beside him. He swallowed and said.

"My brother-in-law is..."

"Don't tell me who your brother-in-law is. I'm not interested. We are here to ask you to cooperate with us in investigating a case. If you are unwilling to cooperate, don't blame us for forcibly taking you away.

Of course, if you insist on dragging your brother-in-law into this, that’s fine. You can tell me who he is right now, and I will invite him to our team as well.”

!!!

No matter how ignorant Guo Xiaohu was, he understood the meaning of these words. He immediately shut his mouth, stood up obediently, and said with a smile.

"Comrade, I will cooperate. I will definitely cooperate. Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

He was not worried about losing face in front of his friends. There was nothing he could do about it. The situation was simply stronger than he was.

The police officer from the headquarters raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get to the police station."

Guo Xiaohu's heart tightened and a smile uglier than crying appeared on his face. Without stopping, he took out cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to the three police officers.

"Comrade, brothers, there's no need to go to the bureau. It's almost time for dinner. If you don't mind, I'll treat you. Let's go to a restaurant and have a meal. We can chat while we eat. You can ask whatever you want to know. As long as I know, I will never hide anything."

He thought that the bureau the police officers from the headquarters were referring to was the Municipal Bureau. He didn't want to go to the Municipal Bureau. His legs went weak at the thought of being taken to the Municipal Bureau.

Guo Xiaohu is the type of person who never makes big mistakes but keeps making small ones. If the police are determined to deal with him, they will at least lock him up for a year or two.

Although he had never been sent to a labor camp or prison, he knew someone like him and he knew exactly what was going on in there. It was precisely because he knew the situation there that he was particularly afraid.

The police officer from the headquarters waved his hand and didn't take his cigarette. He just raised his chin and gestured in the direction of the door: "As long as you cooperate with our questioning and tell us everything you know, we don't have to go to the Municipal Bureau, but..."

"I understand, I understand, I promise to cooperate."

Without waiting for the police officer to finish speaking, Guo Xiaohu immediately took over and spoke hurriedly. He looked so nervous that he almost clapped his hands to make a promise.

Seeing that the three police officers did not take the cigarette with a filter tip that he handed over, he put the cigarette back into his pocket and walked out quickly without looking back.

Inside the house, as they watched the door slowly close, the remaining people all breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

The few people who heard the noise looked at each other and smiled bitterly on their faces. The pressure brought to them by the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Municipal Bureau was really too great.

"What's going on? What did Xiaohu do again?"

At this time, the man who was sitting opposite Guo Xiaohu while playing cards spoke up and asked with some confusion.

"Who knows? I think it's a big deal. Even the headquarters has been alerted. If there is really any problem, his brother-in-law may not be able to save him this time."

"Not to mention his brother-in-law, even the old man in his brother-in-law's family probably can't do anything about it."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again.

"Before I came here, I heard that someone died in Qiaonan Commune. It seemed that several people were killed. They were all from the same family. For such a serious case, the headquarters will definitely send someone. Is it because of this?"

The person who spoke was a young man who had just arrived here not long ago. He told the rumors he heard outside. The other people had been here since noon and had never gone out. They had no idea what was happening outside.

After hearing his words, the other people were all surprised and started asking questions.

Guo Xiaohu, who had already gone out, was immediately questioned after sitting in the police car parked on the roadside.

"Guo Xiaohu, do you know Yang Daguang from Qiaonan Commune?"

"Yang Daguang?" Guo Xiaohu, who hadn't even sat down yet, was slightly startled when he heard the name: "Uh... Public Security Comrade, are you talking about Yang Daguang from Yangjia Village?"

"it's him."

"I know him, but I'm not familiar with him."

"Did you act as a middleman to help him sell something to someone some time ago?"

The interrogation was conducted by a police officer from the brigade. He didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Yes," Guo Xiaohu nodded without any hesitation. When he heard that the police were asking about this matter, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He acted as a middleman to facilitate a deal and made a considerable commission from it. In his opinion, this was absolutely not illegal and there was nothing worth hiding.

"Yang Daguang is selling three bronze artifacts. I've seen them, and they're all this big..." Guo Xiaohu gestured with his hands as he spoke.

"One looks like something the ancients used to drink, another looks like an incense burner, and the other is a small tripod. Although the tripod is not big, there are words inside. He said it was passed down from his ancestors, but I don't know the details."

"How did you know he had that thing at home?"

"It was their production team accountant Yang Tianshou who told me. Tianshou and I are related, and he and Yang Daguang are relatives."

“Where is the buyer from?”

“I came from the south.”

"Then how did you get to know them?"

"Uh... they came from the south to Beijing City just to buy those old items. It is said that they plan to sell them to people from Hong Kong Island. I don't know them. As soon as they arrived in Beijing City, they spread the word on the black market that they wanted to buy old items. I got this news from a brother who followed Master Zhu from the east city.

After hearing this news, I remembered what Tianshou told me that Yang Daguang's family in their production team had several heirloom treasures, so I asked him to help me find out.

Tianshou asked and told me that he could sell it if the price was right, so I contacted Zhu Ye's brother and asked him to bring the people over. In the end, the three items were sold for 6,000 yuan, Yang Daguang took 5,000 yuan, and I took 200 yuan of the remaining 1,000 yuan, while Zhu Ye took 800 yuan. "

Guo Xiaohu honestly recounted the whole story from beginning to end, without hiding anything. After he finished speaking, he felt a little strange. Why did the police come to him to ask this question? Could it be that Yang Daguang sold the things and then regretted it?
This guy is really good, he looks quiet, but he even managed to get people from the headquarters to come. Damn, it's just two hundred dollars, why make such a big fuss about it.

"Comrade Public Security, I just introduced this deal. I didn't interfere with the details of the negotiation or the final price. I took 200 yuan as a commission after the deal was done. If Yang Daguang regrets it, I can return the money."

Although he hated Yang Daguang so much that he wanted to strangle him, Guo Xiaohu also knew that there is always hope. The top priority now was to get over this matter first and deal with other things later. As for the future, as long as that guy was still in his arms, he would have plenty of ways to play with him slowly.

"Yang Daguang is dead."

"Yang...what? Dead...dead?" The police officer's next words made Guo Xiaohu almost jump up, his eyes widened like cowbells.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly realized why the police came to look for him.

"Comrade...comrade from the Public Security Bureau, you...you don't think I killed him, do you? I admit that I was particularly jealous of him for making 5,000 yuan from selling things, and I also thought about taking his money, but I only thought about dragging him to the card room to do some tricks and win his money. I never thought about killing him."

You…even if you give me the courage, I wouldn’t dare to do this. This is something that will cost me my life.”

Looking at Guo Xiaohu's face which suddenly turned red due to nervousness and excitement, the police officer from the brigade who was sitting next to him and questioning him smiled.

"Don't be nervous." The police officer raised his hand and patted Guo Xiaohu on the shoulder: "We didn't say you killed the person. First tell me where you were last night?"

"Last night I was...at..." Speaking of this, Guo Xiaohu suddenly became stuttering and couldn't make any utterance for a long time.

Seeing this, the police officer from the county police department sitting in the passenger seat sneered and said, "Xiao Hu, why are you still hesitating at this time? Do you want to see if your brother-in-law can get you out?"

"No, no, no, I don't have that idea." Guo Xiaohu waved his hands quickly.

He was not a fool, and of course he knew that no matter what, he could not drag his brother-in-law into the water.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, but fellow public security comrades, I hope...I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

"Are you making conditions to me?" the police officer sitting next to him asked with a frown.

"No, no, I didn't. I said, I went to the County Theater's family compound at around nine o'clock last night, stayed there all night, and left at around ten o'clock this morning. After I left, I have been where you found me just now."

"The County Theater Troupe's Family Quarters? What are you doing there? I remember your family is in the County Grain Station's Family Quarters."

Guo Xiaohu and his wife both work at the county grain station, but Guo Xiaohu is a workaholic who only works for three days and rests for two days.

"I... I have a... a good friend who lives in the theater's family compound. I stayed at her place last night."

No wonder!
The three police officers showed understanding on their faces. No wonder this guy was so shy and couldn't say anything just now. It turned out that what he did was shameful.

"What's that woman's name? We need to find her to verify it."

"My name is... Zhong Peipei."

Hearing this name, the two police officers from the headquarters did not react at all, but the one from the county criminal police team was different. The expressions on his faces instantly became very interesting, and he kept shouting in his heart, "Wow!" If it weren't for the people from the headquarters, he would have wanted to pull Guo Xiaohu aside to interrogate him.

It's not his fault that he is so gossipy, but this woman named Zhong Peipei is not single, she has a husband. The reason why this police officer knows this woman is because something her husband did last year caused a lot of controversy, and almost everyone in the county knew about it, including her.

Zhong Peipei works in the troupe as an ordinary staff member. She is quite pretty and in her twenties. Her husband used to work in the county government as a secretary.

Everything was going well, but no one could have expected that last year, her husband would report the deputy county leader he served to the city.

The deputy leader has been suspended and is under investigation, and the matter has not yet come to any conclusion. However, her husband became famous overnight, and she has also become well-known as a result.

Not long after this incident, her husband was transferred to teach at the county middle school. Now it seems that there is more to this than meets the eye.

"Guo Xiaohu, do many people know that Yang Daguang earned 5,000 yuan from selling things?" The police officers of the headquarters had no idea what the man from the county bureau was thinking. They just wrote down Zhong Peipei's name in the notebook and then asked other questions.

"Not much, but not a few either." At this point, Guo Xiaohu smiled awkwardly: "Several of my brothers all know about this. As for whether they have told others, I don't know, but I think it will be spread."

This is trouble!
The three police officers frowned in unison.

"Just tell me what you know and who knows about this matter."

"Should I tell you my name?"

"right"

"Yes..." Guo Xiaohu said several names in a row.

The police officers of the brigade wrote down all these names one by one in a notebook.

Looking at the name of Yang Tianshou, the accountant of the Yangjia Village Production Team, written on the notebook, the police officer fell into deep thought.

When he was investigating and visiting Yangjia Village in the afternoon, the accountant was also questioned, but why didn't this guy mention the fact that Yang Daguang earned 5,000 yuan from selling things?
While my thoughts were racing, the car had already driven into the compound of the County Public Security Bureau. The criminal police team's office was in the backyard. After the car entered the yard, it went straight around the three-story office building and went to the back.

The news that the brother-in-law was brought here by the headquarters soon reached the ears of the captain of the public security brigade.

Wu Boliang, who was about to leave work, sat back behind his desk after hearing the news.

Of course he was aware of the case that happened in Qiaonan Commune, but he did not expect that his brother-in-law was also involved in the case, which made him feel a little nervous.

He wanted to find out more about the situation, but when he remembered that the case was being investigated by the newly appointed deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, he gave up the idea.

Not to mention him, the captain of the public security brigade, even his old man who was the deputy director of the county organization was not in the eyes of this deputy director.

He knew that if he dared to intervene in this sudden vicious case, people would definitely chop off his hands without even a moment's hesitation.

After sitting in the office and hesitating for a while, he suddenly heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs in the office building. He stood up and walked to the window and looked down. It turned out that all the people who had left the Qiaonan Commune site in the afternoon had returned.

Looking at Li Yancheng getting out of the black sedan, he sighed and shook his head with some emotion. It was true that comparing yourself with others makes you feel depressed. He was about the same age as the deputy director. What position did the other person hold now? What about him?

"Jingle Bell……"

Just then, the phone on the desk rang, and Wu Boliang turned around and answered the phone.

"Hey"

"Captain Wu, it's good that you haven't left yet. Director Lin has notified us that the first case analysis meeting will be held in the conference room at 9 o'clock tonight, and you are required to be present as well."

The call came from the office. After hearing what came from the receiver, Wu Boliang breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to find out about his brother-in-law's situation. He would naturally know when he attended the case analysis meeting in the evening.

From this point, it can be seen that this case seems to be a bit difficult. Asking him, the captain of the public security brigade, to attend the meeting obviously means that support from the public security brigade is needed. It seems that a large-scale investigation and visit is needed, and the criminal police team does not have enough staff.

Because it was already time for dinner, Li Yancheng did not stay long after arriving at the county bureau. He quickly left with Deputy Leader Cao to attend a banquet hosted by the director and county leaders of Rouhuai County.

It is not accurate to call it a banquet. At best, it was a simple working meal, which was exactly what Li Yancheng wanted. If the other party really treated him with a lot of fish and meat, he really would not come.

After dinner, he chatted with several leaders of Rouhuai County for a while, and then returned to the county bureau. It was only eight o'clock in the evening.

Let's go back in time a little bit.

After learning from Guo Xiaohu about his movements last night, the three of them drove straight to the county theater staff compound after finishing their meal in the county bureau cafeteria.

"Is this Zhong Peipei's house?"

The person who opened the door was a young man in his twenties wearing glasses. The police officer from the county bureau's criminal police team knew him. This young man was Zhong Peipei's husband.

For some reason, when the three police officers who came to visit him saw him, they always felt that his hair was the same color as wheat seedlings.
