Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

"Do you know where these two are from?" Zhou Yang asked, looking up.

"??? Aren't you from Ning'an?" Cheng Xun was taken aback and looked at Zhou Yang and the other person in confusion.

In fact, Cheng Xun did not provide any particularly valuable clues. After all, he had more than a dozen people under him, and it was impossible for him to know each of them very well. His impressions mostly came from occasional daily interactions and what his colleagues said.

"By the way, where are the other two?" Realizing that he couldn't get any clues from them, Zhou Yang decided to confront them directly, since there were still some things he didn't understand.

"Them?" Cheng Xun opened the door. "Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang!"

"I'm here!" A man who looked about the same age as Cheng Xun jogged over. "Brother Cheng, you called me!"

"Where did Xiao Ding and Xiao Xie go today?"

"You forgot?" Xiao Wang said, "He's with a few people from the water resources department, doing a survey of the neighborhood!"

Cheng Xun patted his head, then remembered.

Because of the impact of this case, Changleyuan Community needs to change its traditional water storage and usage method to a pressure mechanical device, which requires some research.

Ding Longlong and Xie Lixiang were among the accompanying team. After all, they had gained a general understanding of the water and electricity situation in Changleyuan through their work over this period of time and could answer some questions about the community's water and electricity.

"Please lead us to these two people!"

"Xiao Wang, you take the two... never mind, I'll take them. You two continue working!" Cheng Xun frowned, gave instructions, and then took Zhou Yang and the other two out the door.

"Gentlemen, is there something wrong with them?" Cheng Xun asked tentatively after walking a short distance.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, the case is still under investigation, and there are things we can't say at this time. I hope you understand!" Zhou Yang refused with a smile.

"I understand, I understand!" Cheng Xun chuckled dryly.

There's no doubt about it; these two guys have gotten into trouble. And these two aren't just ordinary local police officers; they're criminal investigators from the city bureau, specializing in homicide cases. Considering the cases from the past two days, he probably already knows the truth.

At an electrical meter box, the three saw a group of people having a lively discussion, while two young, thin figures stood out from the crowd.

"Xiao Ding, Xiao Xie!" Cheng Xun shouted in that direction.

Then, Ding Longlong and Xie Lixiang, looking nervous, were called over: "These two police officers want to ask you about the situation. Please cooperate!"

After saying that, he gestured to Zhou Yang and the other man, saying, "You two talk first, I'll go and take care of these comrades!"

Watching Cheng Xun walk away, Zhou Yang looked at the two men. Neither of them was fat; in fact, they were quite thin. The difference was that Ding Longlong was "more" than Xie Lixiang, who looked slightly stronger.

"Gentlemen, shall we talk on the rooftop?" Zhou Yang asked, observing their reactions.

Upon hearing this, Ding Longlong felt a wave of fear and embarrassment. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything to refuse.

Xie Lixiang shook his head frantically, his face filled with fear.

Zhou Yang ignored the two and took the lead, saying, "You two come along. If you don't, then we'll have to invite you to the interrogation room at the bureau!"

After glancing at Wang Chao, who stood behind them, tall and with a fierce look on his face, the two exchanged a glance and had no choice but to follow.

......

"I remember you said before that this lock broke last week, and that it was only unlocked for three days before the incident, right?" Zhou Yang asked, pointing to the keyhole at the cat's mouth from the rooftop.

Ding Longlong nodded: "Yes, it was after cleaning last week that we discovered the lock wouldn't close. It had always been locked before!"

"Who opened the lock? Who locked the lock?" Zhou Yang asked, looking at the two of them.

"What do you mean?" Ding Longlong was completely bewildered. What did those words mean?

Zhou Yang looked at the two of them and explained, "I'm asking, who opened the lock before cleaning, and who discovered the problem with the lock after cleaning?"

"This...this..." Ding Longlong and Xie Lixiang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with reminiscence.

"Hey, it was Ideal who opened the lock. When you left, you even tried to take it from me. I even said you broke the lock, remember?" Ding Longlong slapped his forehead, a look of sudden realization on his face.

"So, Xie Xiang opened the lock, and when you locked it, you found there was something wrong with it, right?" Zhou Yang concluded.

"Yes, that's right!" Ding Longlong nodded, wondering why the young policeman cared so much about this issue.

"So, where is the key to this lock normally? It's not kept in the tool shed, is it?"

"Yes, yes, they're usually with Uncle Liu! After the lock broke, that bunch of keys was thrown into the tool shed!"

Zhou Yang nodded. This explained why they had to break the lock instead of using the key.

"I have one more question for you!" Zhou Yang looked at Ding Longlong: "Tell me every detail of when the body was discovered, everything you can think of, down to the smallest thing!"

Seeing Zhou Yang's serious expression, Ding Longlong also became nervous, and his voice trembled slightly.

According to him, when they first heard about the sewage issue that day, they were all very surprised. He immediately suggested going to the rooftop to take a look, but Xie Lixiang disagreed, thinking that it should be the residents' own problem.

First, they checked the drainage pipes, then the septic tank pipes, and then the sewage system.

Finally, Cheng Xun suggested going to the top floor to take a look, so the two of them went. Xie Lixiang went up first, checked everything, and found nothing unusual. Just as he was about to leave, Ding Longlong came up with a crowbar, saying he wanted to check the pool...

Finally, Ding Longlong belatedly shuddered, took two steps back, and looked at Xie Lixiang, who was still trembling, with a look of horror.

Upon hearing this, not only Ding Longlong, but also the police officer guarding the scene and Wang Chao roughly guessed what was going on.

They formed an angled formation, surrounding Xie Lixiang.

......

Xie Lixiang was taken to the Municipal Bureau and placed in the interrogation room when Fang Duo quickly walked over with a stack of documents.

"Yangzi, you know what, the selection of the site for Changleyuan and its construction were quite a bumpy road!"

Ignoring the other party's changing forms of address, Zhou Yang took the file handed to him and began to look through it.

Construction of Changleyuan Community began in 83. At that time, the land was barren, with nothing but a large cemetery. After receiving compensation, construction started.

However, due to the materials provided by the construction company and weather conditions, the progress was not fast. With the handover date fast approaching, the construction company had no choice but to extend the working hours. It was at this time that a safety accident occurred.

A contractor in a certain area had an accident. He fell from the scaffold and was impaled by a steel bar, dying instantly. This contractor's surname was Xie!
