Chapter 546 Discovery
This person's job is most likely to clean up manure or clean public toilets.

This adds another troubleshooting condition.

With the portrait and so many screening conditions, Li Yancheng believed that the patient with broken ribs treated by Liao Xiaomei would be found out soon, no matter whether he was the devil in human skin or not.

As simulated portraits and newly added screening conditions were notified to all police stations, the Beijing police officers, who had cancelled their vacations during the National Day holiday, began another vigorous search operation.

"Eh? Director, wait a moment, can you let me take another look at the portrait in your hand?"

The photocopying technology at that time was not like that of later generations. You could just scan the original painting into the computer and print out as many copies as you wanted. It was easy and convenient. The development of technology did provide people with a lot of convenience.

Now we can only take a photo of the original painting and then develop it. Due to time constraints, only one photo has been sent to each police station. The police officers who go out to investigate can only look at the photo carefully and then look for people based on their memory.

The police station is located at the junction of Dianhai, Mentou and Meishan districts. The director had just arranged the investigation task and let the comrades who were responsible for the investigation look at the photos. The director put away the photos and prepared to leave the meeting room to participate in the investigation. A female police officer who had been sitting in the corner during the meeting suddenly raised her hand timidly and spoke.

This female police officer is the office clerk of the station and a temporary worker. There are cases like her in every station, and they are generally not arranged to go out and participate in the investigation work.

They know this themselves, so every time they attend such a mobilization meeting, they consciously sit at the back. When they looked at the photos just now, they only looked at them from a distance and did not go up to join in the fun.

Today, someone actually took the initiative to ask to see the suspect's photo again. The director was slightly startled when he was called, and then opened the book with the photo.

"Xiao Liu, come here. The rest of you should come and take a look. Although you are not assigned to participate in the investigation, it is only because of your different positions. You should also master the information you should master. There will definitely be actions in the future that require your cooperation."

There is a severe shortage of female comrades throughout the public security system, especially on the front lines. Sometimes the police situations we face really need female comrades to handle.

As the director spoke, the three clerks sitting in the corner stood up and walked over.

After coming over, the clerk Xiao Liu, who was called the residence manager, took the photo and examined it carefully.

"Director, you just said that this person is probably a public toilet cleaner?"

"Yes, or the one responsible for the cleanup."

"Does he have some problem with his right leg? Uh...his right leg limps when he walks?" As he spoke, Xiao Liu demonstrated it.

"This... the investigation notice didn't mention that the suspect has this characteristic. What about the other conditions? Do the other conditions of the person you know match those in the investigation notice?"

"Other conditions...the hair is not right. The person I know has short hair, much shorter than yours. It's probably about this much..." Xiao Liu raised his right hand and used his thumb and index finger to measure. It was probably about one centimeter.

"He definitely has some white hair, but not much, and because his hair is short, you can't tell much. His height, build, and age are pretty consistent, and there's nothing special about his voice; it sounds normal.

Oh, by the way, Director, he meets one of the conditions in the joint investigation notice we received earlier."

"What?" The director's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

"The man I know married a widow ten years ago. They had been married for many years but had no children until last year when his wife got pregnant. When she gave birth earlier this year, the neighbors all advised him to send his wife to the hospital to give birth because his wife was already 40 years old and it was her first child, and they were worried that something might go wrong.

But he didn't listen to the advice, saying that others were jealous of him, and insisted that his wife give birth at home. But unexpectedly, something really went wrong and she had a difficult delivery. By the time she was sent to the hospital, her body was already dead, and of course the baby in her belly could not be saved.

This person has a rather odd personality. In addition, he is in charge of cleaning the public toilets in our area. He stinks all the time, and other people don’t want to interact with him. Therefore, he has never had any particularly good friends in our area and keeps to himself.”

"I know the person Xiao Liu is talking about."

As soon as the clerk Xiao Liu finished speaking, the deputy director who had also not left spoke.

"After the August 28 and September 2nd incidents, we reported this person based on the investigation conditions at the time. We never heard from him again, so the criminal police team must have ruled him out."

"Ruled out?" Hearing the deputy director's words, the director frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Well, Xiao Liu, this person lives in your area, right?"

"Yes, director."

"Do you think this portrait looks like him?"

"There are some similarities, especially the tail of the eye, which is hanging like this. And the lips, the portrait is very similar to the person I know, both have very thin lips, and a little crooked, and look mean, and some people say that he will not have any offspring.

Uh…I didn’t say that, the older people said that about him.”

Suddenly realizing that he shouldn't have said the last two sentences, Xiao Liu quickly waved his hand.

The director didn't care. He just raised his hand and touched the stubble under his chin, thinking about something. After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiao Liu, take me to meet this person. Forget it. Just tell me his address and I'll take people there. You don't have to show up."

call……

Seeing that the director had changed his mind, Xiao Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If she had taken the people in the institute to find that person, she would definitely be gossiped about behind her back in their area.

……

Half an hour later, the director brought two people on bicycles to the area where Xiao Liu lived. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the alley, a jeep drove over quickly and stopped not far in front of the three of them with a squeak.

"Captain, this is the criminal police team's car."

"Yeah," the director nodded, then stopped on the bicycle with one foot on the ground.

The door of the jeep was pushed open, and Captain Cheng of the Criminal Police Team stepped down from the passenger seat.

"Captain Zhang, I didn't expect to run into you right after arriving at your jurisdiction."

"Hey, it's Captain Cheng, why are you here?"

"I was just about to ask you, why are you here?" Captain Cheng did not answer Director Zhang's question. He walked over, took out a cigarette from his pocket and passed it around.

"One of our clerks said that there was a person in the area where she lived who looked very similar to the portrait, so I brought someone over to check out the situation.

By the way, Captain Cheng, you can directly attend the case analysis meeting. Could the suspect be a cripple?"

"Cripple? I know who you're talking about. We're here for this person. After seeing the portrait just now, a comrade in our team mentioned this person.

They said that the reason they ruled out this person last time was because he was a cripple. Not only did he walk with a limp, but he also couldn't walk fast, which was very inconvenient. He didn't look like the kind of person who could commit that kind of crime at all.

After hearing this, Director Li from the Municipal Bureau asked us to come and contact the people from the Street Office to first investigate this person's movements on the nights of August 28th and September 2nd.

Those who clean public toilets work in the middle of the night. Not only do they have to clean, they also need to deliver what they clean to designated places.

Director Li meant to check where he was supposed to deliver the goods on those two days, and then contact the receiving production team to see what time he had delivered the goods to them before and what time he had arrived that day, and estimate the time.

In fact, Li Yancheng could choose a simpler method, which was to let them take the person back so that he could know the truth at the first trial, but he didn't want to do that.

Investigating cases these days is relatively simple and rough. When a suspect is found, regardless of whether there is other evidence to rule out the suspect, the suspect will be taken back for interrogation. If the suspect is found out during the interrogation, the case is solved. If nothing can be found out during the interrogation, then look for more.

He really disliked this way of handling cases. Many times, the original clues were delayed in this way.

Therefore, he would rather go through some trouble, at least to clarify all the doubts first.

He also couldn't let his subordinates develop the habit of waiting, relying on, and asking for things. If they really expected him to investigate and see if he could solve the case, it would not be enough even if he was split into ten parts, let alone him. When he heard that it was Deputy Director Li of the Municipal Bureau who arranged it, Director Zhang swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

His idea was to just interrogate him first and then decide whether he was real or not. But now the leaders of the Municipal Bureau have already made detailed arrangements, so he should not be too smart and just listen to their instructions.

……

The public security "machine" is very efficient once it gets clues and starts working.

At around 7:00 p.m. on October 1, people from the Dianhai Criminal Police Team and the General Team in charge of the investigation continuously passed information back to the command center at the Dianhai Branch.

"On August 28, when Gu Daming delivered fertilizer to the Heliu production team, he was nearly an hour late than usual. The production team was anxious to apply fertilizer to the fields, so they sent villagers to find him and help him push the cart over. Otherwise, it would have been at least two hours late.

When he delivered the goods to another production team on September 2, it was also dozens of minutes later than usual. We also visited several other production teams that he was responsible for delivering the goods. The team leader of one of the production teams said that he remembered that in May and June, Gu Daming seemed to have some health problems. He usually did the work alone, but after that period of time, he always asked them for help.

In addition, we also investigated his work situation recently and found that a week ago, the time he delivered to the destination was obviously later than before, basically about half an hour later, but the time he delivered a car early this morning returned to normal. "

The person in charge of the report was Jin Zhihai, the deputy captain of the corps. At this point, he retracted his gaze from the notebook in his hand, looked up at Li Yancheng and said, "Director Li, I suspect this guy has been scouting the area for a week, and it is very likely that he originally planned to take action early this morning.

But we didn't expect that we suddenly increased the number of staff and strengthened the night patrols. Seeing that he had no chance to take action, he continued to work honestly, so the delivery time this morning was very punctual.

Another point is that Gu Daming's leg was broken by a stick in a fight with someone more than 20 years ago. We found the doctor who treated him that year.

Because the doctor lived not far from Gu Daming's home, he often met him on the road, so he had a very deep impression of him.

According to the doctor, under normal circumstances, Gu Daming's leg should be able to recover as normal, and he should not be in the lame state he is in now. But at the same time, he also said that it cannot be ruled out that Gu did something else during the recovery period, so the bones did not grow properly, resulting in the current state.

Also, Gu Daming's household registration shows that he is 46 years old this year. He was born in 1934. His mother's name is unknown. In 1936, when he was two years old, a man who claimed to be his father brought him to the place where he lives now.

The household registration information showed that they had escaped from the Northeast. In 1950, Gu Daming's father died of illness. He was 17 years old that year and just took over as a sanitation worker.

Later, for some unknown reason, he was transferred to clean public toilets. He was not good at speaking, had a strange personality, did not like dealing with others, often kept to himself, and his job was dirty, so he never had a girlfriend. It was not until the 21st year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when he was already 36, that he married a widow.

The man in front of this widow was a colleague of Gu Daming. He got drunk and was cleaning the manure pit at work at night, and he fell in.

That's probably the situation. There are many suspicious points about him. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I almost forgot to mention. When Gu Daming was a child, he practiced martial arts with his father. Many old residents near his home have seen him. "

Click…click…

After listening to Jin Zhihai's report, Li Yancheng sat there for a long time without saying anything, only a few fingers of his right hand resting on the table, tapping on the table continuously.

"Is there anyone left near Gu Daming's house?" After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked.

"Someone arranged it."

"Then do it. Invite the man back and have a good chat. Tell the comrades to be careful. If this guy is really the one, he is very skilled. He knows that if he is caught, he will definitely die, so his resistance will definitely be fierce.

Then ask the comrades to search for the pair of crutches with legs mentioned by Qi Feng and Hu Rui, and then find the wig. Liao Xiaomei saw that his hair was gray, so he must be wearing a wig.

If possible, it is best to find someone he is relatively familiar with to knock on the door, and try not to use force if possible."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

As soon as Li Yancheng finished speaking, the other people in the room stood up and responded in unison.

call……

After they all went out, Li Yancheng lit a cigarette for himself. After exhaling the smoke he had inhaled into his mouth, he raised his left arm and looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.

He had a strong premonition that this case, which had lasted for ten years since the first crime occurred, would finally see the light of day.

On the other hand, Gu Daming, who didn't know that his life was about to come to an end, was sitting in his own yard, drinking alone, full of interest.

Last night, the police suddenly increased patrols, making it impossible to carry out his plan. He was really annoyed at the time, but after he finished his work and came back to sleep, the annoyance disappeared.

It doesn't matter, he has plenty of patience. He just doesn't believe that the police can send so many people to patrol the streets every day.

Even tigers take naps sometimes, let alone humans.

Anyway, the plan has been made, so we just need to wait patiently for the time when the police relax their guard.

This time he must give the police a big gift. Thinking of the figure in uniform, his heart couldn't help but feel hot. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the base of his thighs hard several times. With this movement, the expression on his face became more and more obscene.

"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."

Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the door of his house from outside.

The sudden knock on the door made Gu Daming's men pause. The obscene expression on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by impatience after being interrupted.

"Who?"

"Gu Daming, it's me, Zhang Quanshun."

After hearing the person knocking on the door and introducing himself, Gu Daming was full of doubts. What did this guy want to see him for?
"Lao Zhang, what's the matter?" he asked as he stood up from the bench, but still had no intention of going over to open the door.

"Don't send the truckload of fertilizer you cleared out tonight to He Liu. Send it to... There. I came here to inform you. Remember, don't send it to the wrong place. This is what the section chief told me personally."

"Where to send it?"

Gu Daming didn't hear clearly the place where the change was made, so he couldn't help but take a few steps towards the gate.

"Don't send it to the Heliu Production Team. Send it to the Da...Production Team."

"Hey, do you have a date in your mouth or something? You can't even speak clearly."

After failing to hear where the new place was both times, Gu Daming walked to the gate with an impatient look on his face and reached out to pull the bolt open.

After pulling the bolt, just as he was about to open the door, there was a sudden strong force against the door. With a bang, both doors were pushed open, and Gu Daming was pushed back two steps by the sudden huge force.

Because the incident happened suddenly, he was not prepared at all. He took two steps back but failed to stabilize the chassis and sat down on the ground.

Before he could react to what was happening, he saw two figures rushing towards him, one locking his neck and the other pressing his legs, and instantly pinned him to the ground.

"Ah... who... who are you?"

Gu Daming, who was pinned to the ground, struggled hard unwillingly. Because he was facing upwards, he saw with his own eyes that two more people rushed over and one of them grabbed one of his arms.

The police uniform worn by one of them made him immediately understand what had happened.

Although he didn't know why the police found him, he was very clear that the police probably didn't have any evidence in their hands. If they did, they should have arrested him long ago instead of waiting until now.
