Chapter 577 Thinking Too Much
But no matter what, the vanity at this moment is nothing but a dream.

At the school gate, Zhao Yanan got out of the car reluctantly. It was unclear whether she was craving for the faint scent of Li Yancheng in the car, or for the envious looks from others when they saw her getting out of the car.

At this moment, the regret in her heart was even stronger than before. She felt that if she had not made the wrong choice back then, there would be no need to be greedy now. This was what she could enjoy in her daily life.

Earlier in the conference room, she heard the driver report to Li Yancheng that he had sent Chief Luo to school.

Section Chief Luo, if she remembered correctly, his wife's surname was Luo, Luo Min, so she must be the Section Chief Luo the driver was talking about. She seemed to be younger than herself, and she was already a Section Chief? The school principal was only at this level.

But when you think about the principal who is already in his fifties and almost sixty, and then think about Luo Min's face that looks like she is in her early twenties at most, there is a sense of incongruity no matter how you think about it.

She felt that originally all of this should have belonged to her.

A feeling of resentment suddenly welled up in her heart. Why was her life such a mess? She was over 30 years old and still just an ordinary substitute teacher, and alone. Why could they enjoy everything?

Just when she thought of this, she suddenly woke up and wondered how she had suddenly fallen into such a state of confusion.

The extreme thought that just popped into her mind made her break out in a cold sweat.

And it all happened in the blink of an eye.

After calming herself down, she turned around, bent down and greeted Guan Weidong who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Thank you for bringing me back."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhao. Take care."

After standing up straight, Zhao Yanan used a little force to close the back door of the car. He stood on the side of the road and watched the car turn around and drive east. Only when he could no longer see the car did he turn around and walk towards the school gate.

"Teacher Zhao, it's OK. Now we can ride in a car!"

"Uh... Hello, Mr. Sun. I'm a friend. He's here to give me a ride back."

After taking a few steps, Zhao Yanan was stopped by a voice behind her. Turning back, she saw that it was the head of the grade in the second year of high school in her school. The voice stopped and explained with a smile.

"Friends, I'm afraid they're not just ordinary friends?"

Teacher Sun came over and took Zhao Yanan's arm in a friendly manner, saying with a teasing look on his face.

"Teacher Zhao, if I remember correctly, you were also in this car the day before yesterday when you came back. I didn't see the man driving clearly, but he must be young. What's the matter? Who is he dating?
Being a driver is a good job. Which company does he drive for? He drives a small car, serving the leaders, right? "

Looking at Teacher Sun, who was full of gossip, Zhao Yanan explained with a wry smile: "Teacher Sun, you really misunderstood. She is only in her early twenties. How could she date a divorced middle-aged woman in her thirties like me?"

When he heard that the driver was only in his early twenties, Teacher Sun immediately realized that he might have made a mistake. But since he was not driving, he must be a passenger.

Thinking of this, Teacher Sun's eyes suddenly lit up, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Yanan changed.

When Zhao Yanan saw her sparkling eyes, she knew that Teacher Sun had made up her mind again. They had worked together for more than ten years, and she knew too well how good this teacher was.

But she didn't want to explain any further. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing to let others misunderstand her.

The two of them tacitly stopped talking about this topic and started talking about other things, talking and laughing as they walked towards the school.

After the two figures disappeared into the gate, the door curtain of the school guard room was lifted, and the principal of Meishan Middle School walked out of the guard room.

Standing under the eaves, the principal looked at Zhao Yanan's back with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

He was a little confused about what had happened. First, the Municipal Supervisory Commission came to find Teacher Zhao, and roughly what they meant was that her rogue ex-husband reported that she had an affair with the newly appointed deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but it was eventually found out to be a false accusation.

False accusation?

He believed that there is no smoke without fire, and that it was a false accusation because it might not have been found out, or they might have done a good job of covering up. Otherwise, why would she have come back in their special car twice in a row?

Then today the police came to see her again. What was the reason? Was it a public or private matter?
"Are you sure that the same car was used to bring Teacher Zhao back the day before yesterday?"

The principal turned to look at the guard standing behind him and asked.

"That's definitely right, Principal. And Director Li was still in the car the day before yesterday. I saw it clearly. My home is in the same alley as Director Li's. I'm familiar with both him and this car."

"Okay, I understand." The principal nodded and walked towards his office with his hands behind his back.

As he walked, he kept thinking about whether he should change his attitude towards Zhao Yanan in the future. It was somewhat unrealistic to change the class teacher just over a month after the school started. So where should he start?

He felt a headache.

……

Let's turn our attention back to the detention center.

Time had slowly passed to eleven o'clock in the morning on the 6th. Li Yancheng, who had been checking the information of the prisoners in the detention center for the whole morning, put down the registration book in his hand, raised his hand and pinched his nose bridge, feeling a little tired.

I read a lot of information but couldn't figure out anything. Come to think of it, it's like a pipe dream to find any clues from a pile of information when I don't know anything.

But Wang Guangjun was just a warden in the detention center. He couldn't think of any other possibility for him to ask such a person to do something other than the internal affairs of the detention center.

"report"

"Come in"

"Director Li, Director Qiao, President Zhu, Director Jiang..."

The person who came in was Section Chief Zhou, who led the team to investigate Yue Pingxin's home. After coming in, he first saluted the four leaders in the room.

Deputy Director Jiang of the Municipal Supervisory Commission is also in his fifties. He hadn't slept all night and was so tired that he could hardly hold on any longer. He didn't speak for a long time. He just sat there leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, and it seemed like he was about to fall asleep.

Seeing that the police officers who had visited Yue Pingxin's home for investigation had returned, he quickly perked up and lit himself a cigarette to stay alert.

"Please sit down, Old Zhou. What's the situation at Yue Pingxin's home?" Zhu Dongjun poured a glass of water for Section Chief Zhou and asked.

"Don't mention Mr. Zhu." Section Chief Zhou took the water and took a big sip.

"I have been a criminal police officer for nearly 20 years and have met at least hundreds of victims' families, but I have never seen anything like the Yue family. It feels to me that Yue Pingxin is not their family member, but a stranger.

Not to mention that they knew nothing about Yue Pingxin's situation after she was released from prison, when I told them that Yue Pingxin was murdered, they didn't even react at all, as if they had heard something extremely ordinary.

Even when I asked about the situation, they were particularly impatient. I felt that if we were not police officers, they would probably kick us out.

Finally, I had no choice but to tell them that I would inform them of the details after the case was handled, and then we could go through the formalities to take Yue Pingxin's body away. Dear leaders, you will never guess what his brother Yue Pingshun said. He actually told us to deal with it as we please. If they don't want it, I..."

At this point, Section Chief Zhou smiled bitterly: "I really didn't know how to respond at that time. Before leaving, the old lady in the Yue family who was paralyzed on the bed even muttered that it would be better to die to save food.

I really don't know how to evaluate this family. After all, he is their child and brother. They say that even if you break bones, you still have tendons. But the way this family treats Yue Pingxin makes me feel more like an enemy."

"In other words, this trip is in vain." Zhu Dongjun was not interested in the attitude of the Yue family. Whether they were enemies or family members, they were all other people's family affairs. He was more concerned about whether there were any clues.

"Boss Zhu, it can be said that this trip was in vain, but it was not completely fruitless. After leaving Yue's house, we visited the surrounding neighbors.

We learned from these people that Yue Pingxin had not been home for at least a year. An old man who lived next door to him said that the last time he saw Yue Pingxin was on May Day last year.

At that time, Yue Pingxin was carrying some things back home, but not long after he entered the house, he heard a quarrel coming from the Yue family. He didn't hear what the quarrel was about, but within two minutes of the quarrel, he saw Yue Pingxin being driven out by his brother Yue Pingshun, and the things he brought were thrown out as well. "

"Did Yue Pingxin's sister Yue Pingping see it?"

"Yes, he has the same attitude as the rest of the Yue family. We just haven't seen Yue Pingping's lover yet. He works at the bus company and is on his way out. We've already greeted them at the stop. We'll go over when he takes over at one o'clock."

"Okay, let's leave the Yue family's affairs at that for now. As for Yue Pingping's lover, Lao Zhou, you can arrange for other people to go there later. There is a new situation now. You can contact Lao Zheng to see if he needs any help. At present, we need to focus our investigation on Yue Pingxin's former cellmates.

According to teacher Zhao Yanan, Yue Pingxin once told her that he met a big brother in prison, and that this big brother is now helping him make money.

"Cellmate? Make money?" Section Chief Zhou muttered these two words, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhu, I'll find a way to contact Lao Zheng right away."

"Well, wait a moment." Zhu Dongjun turned to look at Li Yancheng: "Director Li, please..."

"Old Qiao, Director Jiang, do you have any other opinions?" Li Yancheng turned his head and asked for the opinions of the other two people.

"No no!"

"No comment"

Director Qiao of the Criminal Investigation Bureau 1 of the headquarters and Deputy Director Jiang waved their hands.

Seeing that both of them said they had no objection, Li Yancheng turned around and looked at Section Chief Zhou and said.

"Old Zhou, that's what's going on. When you're checking Yue Pingxin's cellmates, pay more attention to see if there's anyone with connections to the system. If you want to arrange jobs for Niu Shengli's three children, regardless of whether it's bragging or not, the person who dares to say that must be certain.

It is not easy to arrange a job now. That person not only promised that it would be a formal job, but also three jobs. If you don't have some power, you can't even think about it.

There is another possibility, that is, the big brother that Yue Pingxin mentioned is just following others to make a living and helping others do dirty things.

In this case, when you investigate, you should pay more attention to those people who were released from the same cell with Yue Pingxin one year after he was imprisoned..."

"Director Li, let me interrupt for a moment."

At this moment, Director Qiao from the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the headquarters spoke up.

"Director Qiao, please tell me."

"Director Li, those years were quite chaotic, and a lot of information may not be available now."

Li Yancheng was slightly stunned, and soon realized what Director Qiao meant by "it's a bit messy".

This chaos was not caused by internal management disorder, but by the general environment at that time. But no matter what, this clue must be followed up.

He frowned and thought for a while before saying, "What Director Qiao said is indeed a problem, but we must find a way to overcome the difficulties that need to be overcome.

If the prison loses data due to some special reasons, we will check the archives of the bureau, the court, and those who were sentenced in those years and assigned to the First Prison to serve their sentences. We will then ask the prison staff to recall the data and ask those who have been imprisoned to recall the data.

In short, we must restore all those people as much as possible. Lao Zhou, if you encounter any problems that require my coordination, please tell me in time and I will come forward. "

"Yes"

Seeing that the leaders had nothing more to say, Section Chief Zhou saluted, turned around and walked out of the meeting room.

"Eastern Lord"

"Director Li"

"Hasn't the man named Lu Jiwen who lent Yue Pingxin a house come back yet?"

"not yet"

"I see from the information that this Lu Jiwen has a job?"

"Yes, he works on the railway. He was released from prison more than a year earlier than Yue Pingxin, and took over his father's job after he was released."

"Ah... I hope we can get something more from him, so we don't have to go through so much trouble."

If the archives of those years were really destroyed and there were no other useful clues, they could only use this stupid method to investigate slowly.

Fortunately, the prison department is still under the management of the Public Security Bureau, which saves a lot of trouble. In three years, when the management of prisons and labor camps is transferred to the judicial department, if you want to check any information in the prison, it will not be so convenient. It will probably take several approval procedures.

The person who went to look for Yue Pingxin's cellmate Lu Jiwen didn't come back until almost two o'clock.

This man named Lu Jiwen is a railway maintenance worker. His job is to patrol the section he is responsible for. When he gets tired, he just finds a place to rest for a while. Therefore, it is not easy to find him during his working hours.

Several police officers who had gone to look for him had to walk back and forth along the section of the railway he was in charge of twice before they found him.

After all this effort, I didn't get any useful information.

The house where Yue Pingxin lived was not lent to him by Lu Jiwen, but rented to him at a rent of eight yuan per month.

According to Lu Jiwen, it was nearly two months after Yue Pingxin was released from prison that she took the initiative to find his home and wanted to rent his utility room for temporary residence.

The reason why Yue knew that there was a vacant storage room in his house was because he himself mentioned it when they were chatting in prison.

But Lu Jiwen did not expect that Yue Pingxin actually remembered what he said during the chat, and he also said that their relationship was actually just ordinary, they just lived in the same cell for three years.

As for who Yue Pingxin had a good relationship with in prison, he provided a person nicknamed Lao Ba, who was imprisoned in the same year as him, that is, in the 25th year after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Originally, they were both sentenced to three years. With only six months left in their sentence, Lao Ba got into a fight with another prisoner while working and beat the man severely. As a result, his sentence was extended by another fifteen years, even though he was originally expected to be released from prison in six months.

Not only was his sentence extended, he was also transferred to a farm in the northeast to serve his sentence.

According to Lu Jiwen, this Lao Ba and Yue Pingxin seemed to have known each other when they were outside, and before they were transferred away with increased sentences, the two of them often got together.

As for others, he couldn't remember who Yue Pingxin was close to, and it seemed that their relationship was just that.

After listening to the report from the police officers who went to visit, Li Yancheng frowned deeply.

Laoba?

"What's the old man's name?"

"Lü Jiwen said he didn't remember."

"Why did this old man go in?"

"Fighting with others."

"Have you been to Lu Jiwen's house? Have you searched the house where Yue Pingxin lives?"

"I'm going." The police officer who came to report said as he took things out of the bag he brought with him.

"This is what we found from the mattress on the bed in the room where Yue Pingxin lived."

"Is this... a bank passbook?"

Seeing the thick stack of current account passbooks placed on the table by the police officer, everyone in the meeting room was shocked.

Even Li Yancheng, whose family savings started at 100,000 yuan, was a little surprised.

"Were all these found in the room where Yue Pingxin lived?"

"Yes, there are 24 passbooks in total. The smallest one has over 300 yuan in it, and the largest one has 2,000 yuan in it. The total amount is over 18,000 yuan. The name on each passbook is different."

As the police officers spoke, Li Yancheng and the others reached out and each picked up a passbook and opened it to take a look.

Nowadays, there is no real-name system when you deposit money in a bank, and you don’t need to bring relevant documents. If you want to deposit money, you just fill out a form first, and the bank teller will process the money based on the name you write.

The passbook is also handwritten, recording the name, deposit date, deposit amount, balance, and finally the personal seal of the teller handling the transaction. Not counting the official seal, two personal seals will be stamped after each deposit and withdrawal, one for the cashier handling the transaction, and the other for the accountant.

Don't even think about making alterations or forgeries on the passbook. The bank still keeps a base card copy. The records on the passbook the customer holds will also be on the base card copy. If the two don't match and it's discovered that the customer made alterations without permission, then the police should be called in.

At that time, there was no such thing as universal deposit and withdrawal. You could only withdraw money from the savings bank where you deposited the money. This deposit method of keeping a base card gradually disappeared until banks began to use computers on a large scale.

Manual accounting was still used by some banks in the 1990s.
