Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Just ask if you can be a little more reliable~"

Qin Jingru was cleaning the kitchen angrily, mumbling about the two people who came home late.

"Even if there is something, there is always time to call home~"

"I went to take a shower"

Han Jiankun is really good at explaining. His wife clearly said that she came back late because of something, but he was not afraid of the big deal and insisted on taking a shower.

"I dare say!"

Qin Jingru brought out a pot of braised pork and put it on the table. She glared at Han Jiankun and said, "You went out to have fun, leaving us mothers at home worried, right!"

Han Jiankun glanced at the pot of braised pork, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he lowered his head and didn't speak.

He didn't care about his wife's nagging. This was not for him!

He is a driver. He has to listen to his boss wherever he goes. He won't take the blame.

Li Xuewu could hear that she had something to say, but he didn't care. Now he is not the boss at home, but Gu Ning is.

As Gu Ning's belly grew bigger and it became more and more inconvenient to move, Qin Jingru's attitude became more and more cautious.

Every day when she came back from here, she would remind Li Xuewu not to sleep too deeply at night, and to watch over Gu Ning when she got up at night.

Because of the body structure of pregnant women, the larger the fetus grows, the more frequently they go to the toilet.

Although Qin Jingru just got married and has not given birth to a child, she is very familiar with the work of taking care of pregnant women, and there has never been a lack of children in her family since she was a child.

In addition to Liu Yin's instructions when she returned to the courtyard a few months ago, and the arrangements made by the old lady when she was here, she paid special attention to diet, nutrition, sleep and rest.

Therefore, Li Xuewu, who often challenged this rule, became Qin Jingru's vigilance.

"Why do you think of stewed meat?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly, and was surprised when he looked at the pot of braised pork.

Even if the family lives a good life, there are not many opportunities to eat stewed meat. It's not that there is not enough meat at home, but Qin Jingru herself can't bear it.

"Sister Xiao Ning wants to eat"

Qin Jingru stood aside with a helpless expression and said, "I kept saying I wanted to eat in the afternoon, but I only ate two bites of it in the evening."

"You guys eat~"

She was talking, but she found that two people were looking at her.

"Why are you looking at me? There is roasted meat on my face. Eat quickly so that I can wash the dishes after eating. I've been busy all day~".

Seeing Qin Jingru go to the living room to coax the child, Li Xuewu and Han Jiankun looked at each other, and their eyes were on the roasted meat.

"Jiankun, eat meat"

"Leader, you eat"

"You are so polite~Eat~Eat, eat more"

"You eat~You eat, you eat too~"

...

Li Xuewu hates corpses the most. His gentle and elegant literary youth temperament is not suitable for handling such cases.

I saw that thing in the afternoon, and when I got home in the evening, I saw that it was braised pork. This is disgusting!

Just like that, he and Han Jiankun only finished half a pot of braised pork each.

Well, I didn't eat much.

The last broth was eaten by Han Jiankun with steamed buns. It was clean and tidy, and the pot didn't need to be washed.

Qin Jingru came in and took a look. Good thing, they only made one pot. If they made less, they would have eaten the pot.

The mutual courtesy just now had no effect on the afternoon food at all. It was simply not easy to eat meat in this era.

What?

Disgusting?

You haven't seen anything more disgusting. It's better in the trenches in winter. If it's summer, the taste is amazing.

Especially in the rainforest area, when canned food is distributed on the front line, just listen.

The new recruits in the trench next door made a "hit", and the old soldiers here made a "tut" without caring.

The stumps on the ground are really a nuisance. Pick them up and throw them out, wipe your hands on your pants and continue eating.

The main idea is that you spit your food, I eat mine, and no one disturbs anyone else.

Don't want to eat?

You're hungry, and you're waiting for the squad leader to come over and persuade you to eat with kind words like coaxing a child?

Well, wait, wait until he kicks you and makes you cry like a child, then you know you're eating.

Li Xuewu never needs anyone to persuade him to eat. He was so hungry when he joined the army and stayed at home for a few years. He was twelve, thirteen, or four years old, and ate at eleven o'clock in the afternoon. He was hungry at half past twelve at noon.

Li Shun's salary is high enough, right? He made a lot when he first started working, but he didn't buy much at home, and all of it went into the mouths of these children.

Other children were crying with hunger, but the four children of the Li family were growing up fast, and there was fat on their faces.

In the past, the neighbors envied the children of the Li family, saying that Li Shun was not a doctor at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, but a pig farmer at a farm.

When Li Xuewu was young, he ate well and grew well. His family fed him well, but he always ran around to play and had nothing in his stomach.

At that time, children were not valuable, and neither were people. Anyway, if others would not die from eating anything that grew in the field, flew in the sky, or swam in the river, everyone would eat it.

When he joined the army and started formal training, Li Xuewu, a big man, could eat even more.

His hurry to eat was a habit he had acquired at that time. Others might be full after eating three big steamed buns, but he had to eat six, but the time was the same.

So when it came to braised pork or dry rice, any problem was not a problem.

Not to mention him, even those old cadres and teachers who went to work in the countryside, who used to be gentle, would hide in the toilet in the middle of the night to eat stolen radishes.

When he is not hungry, he is always tough-talking. When he is really hungry, he will give you a bite to eat and even call you grandpa, not even Ben'er, but ancestor.

We cannot compare life in the city with the life in the countryside, let alone the life of a cadre with two working hours compared with ordinary people.

The problem of food and clothing has not been eliminated at the beginning of the 21st century. If you think about this era, you will know that when Yin Mancang called him, half of the people in the next village were gone.

Don't ask where everyone has gone, just ask because of natural and man-made disasters, leaving every room empty.

There are very few people in the city, so I go to the countryside more often. Some places are named Wangjiacun, Lijiacun, and Zhaojiacun. The names were probably changed in the past five years.

But if you ask how many people with the real surnames Wang, Li, and Zhao are left in the village, if there aren't many left, it's basically that reason.

If you are wealthy, even if you are a farmer, it is still wrong. The land in your family was saved by your ancestors through frugality, and you are also a landlord.

If there are many surnames left in the village, and you ask the elders if their ancestors really had this surname, the answer will be different.

In the face of death, changing one's surname may be a condition and instinct for survival. The ancestors did not care about food.

People named Zhang moved into Lijia Village, and everyone in the village was named Li. Your surname is Zhang, so you are looking for bad luck.

You don't have to look far for this kind of situation. Just ask around the capital, and you will definitely find it.

——

As we enter December, especially after mid-December, the weather becomes extremely cold.

"Quack" is not an adjective, but an onomatopoeia. When you break many things, they will make a "quack" sound.

The soft ones have been frozen hard by you, and the hard ones have been frozen to pieces.

Li Xuewu is used to wearing a jacket and a woolen coat when going to work. After all, he spends more time in the office and less time out.

But with the experience of being on the scene yesterday, and the fact that this case could not be completed in a day or two depending on the situation, I quickly found the cotton coat when I went out.

Han Jiankun was also a fool who watched the owner next door during the Chinese New Year. When he saw Li Xuewu preparing a cotton coat, he also rummaged for one.

To be clear about the warehouse on the underground floor, Li Xuewu definitely didn't know as much as these two people, because they were the ones who packed and stored the things.

On the 16th, Li Xuewu first went to the factory and was busy for a while, and then reported to Li Huaide about assisting in handling the case.

Li Huaide supported Li Xuewu, but he also asked Li Xuewu not to give up his job in the factory.

The guarantee given by Li Xuewu was that the work here would not be delayed, and that it would mainly focus on the work in the factory.

Li Huaide knew all about debts of gratitude. He couldn't tell who owed whom. They were all hanging out in the Dongcheng circle, and they couldn't see each other with their heads down. This couldn't be stopped.

After coming out of the factory, I rushed to the Weisan Regiment station for a meeting and processed some documents at the same time.

Before the work was finished, the call from the branch office caught up with me.

Li Xuewu knew how to handle cases very well. As long as he was in his hands, he would never have time to spare.

He is currently receiving two salaries and must coordinate with the two units, otherwise it will be regarded as private work.

Zheng Fuhua also said yesterday that this was approved by the ministry, and a coordination letter should be issued after the case is determined later.

If the investigation takes a long time, those who should be given subsidies should be given subsidies, and those who should be employed should be given personnel letters. No one can ask for leave at will.

When Li Xuewu answered the phone and rushed to the branch office, everyone was waiting in the conference room.

The case analysis meeting first reaffirmed the investigation team structure of the case, which was headed by Zheng Fuhua and hosted by Lai Shanchuan. Li Xuewu was newly added to assist in the handling.

Li Xuewu's assistance was followed by a bracket, which included interrogation and guidance.

The meaning is very clear. He is not an organizer and his working hours are flexible and adjustable.

Today's meeting is waiting for him, which is very illustrative.

Of course, don't feel awesome. This is a normal phenomenon at work and is not a good thing for Li Xuewu.

I value you so much and respect you so much. If I don’t show my real skills and show my real achievements, then needless to say, I will be embarrassed.

"The conclusion given by the forensic doctor"

A clerk helped Li Xuewu sort out the information and handed it to him. Lai Shanchuan, who chaired the seminar, introduced: "Zhang Shuqin should have died two months ago, most likely on the 29th."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to look at the materials in his hand. He did not understand the content of the previous argument, but the conclusion was very vague.

After all, the time is too long, two months, and it is a season of greater climate change, so the precise time cannot be determined.

"Tell me why"

Zheng Fuhua raised his hand, motioned to Lai Shanchuan and said, "At the same time, tell me about the situation of the deceased."

"OK"

Lai Shanchuan opened the notebook in his hand and looked at Zheng Fuhuahui's report: "According to the investigation results, Zhang Shuqin left with her colleagues after withdrawing the money. Someone at the credit union can prove this."

"Zhang Shuqin's colleagues determined that the two separated on the road in front of Wangfujing Shopping Mall."

He reported here, looked at the notes in his hand, and said again: "The investigation of his colleagues in the supply and marketing cooperative showed that he had receipts for shopping in the mall."

"There is a witness, right?"

Zheng Fuhua nodded on the table to remind himself and Li Xuewu.

"I remember that it was handled as a theft case, and relevant personnel had to investigate."

"Yes, there is a witness from the mall."

Lai Shanchuan confirmed: "According to the results of the investigation at that time, when she bought the leather shoes, she told the salesperson that she was also a salesperson because of the price. This is very clear."

"Although the salesperson's record and related counter receipts show that she was buying the goods alone, it cannot prove when the two separated."

"So we must first determine whether the salesperson of this supply and marketing cooperative is lying!"

Zheng Fuhua tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Li Xuewu, and said: "Your psychological skills will be tested in a while."

"Psychology is not omnipotent, let alone a polygraph."

Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and said: "Make a comprehensive judgment, Director Lai, please continue."

"I also have some doubts."

Lai Shanchuan frowned and said: "I used to wonder if I could find some clues from her."

At this point, he shook his head again and said: "Now the body has appeared in the goldfish pond. Unless she participated in the gang crime, she would not have time to commit the crime alone."

As he spoke, he took out the case file and said, "We have done experiments and comparative investigations. The two separated at 2:11 pm, and the counter salesperson gave an estimated meeting time of about 2:30."

"According to the time spent on purchasing the tickets and the time she returned home to meet acquaintances, there was no time to commit the crime."

"This is our experimental result"

Lai Shanchuan took out a document and pushed it in front of Li Xuewu, indicating that he could take a look.

"From the credit union, it is 2.6 kilometers to Wangfujing Shopping Mall, which takes fifteen to eighteen minutes to ride"

"Assuming that the two separated in Wangfujing, if Zhang Shuqin rode by herself, then the time she spent to the goldfish pond and home was exactly half."

"Wangfujing Shopping Mall to the Goldfish Pond is basically a branch line, 2.3 kilometers, and it only takes 14 or 15 minutes to get there"

"And the distance from Wangfujing Shopping Mall to the deceased's home in Qianer Hutong is 5.5 kilometers, which takes about half an hour to ride"

"This is where it's very special"

Lai Shanchuan stared and said: "If we look at the recent cycling distance, that is, Zhang Shuqin's daily commuting trajectory, she is only a few steps away from the turning point of Zhushikou East Street to the Goldfish Pond."

"Now I don't understand. It's understandable that she took the money and said she was going shopping with her colleagues."

"Now it involves a fraud of 45,000 yuan, and she had to take her colleagues with her. This is why we suspect that she absconded with the money."

"But now she died in the goldfish pond. Why did she go to the goldfish pond?!"

"She wanted to leave by train, so she rode too far!"

"Well, this is a key point."

Zheng Fuhua frowned and nodded: "If we follow this conjecture, then she started from the time she separated from Wangfujing and acted alone. Was she alive or dead from the distance to the goldfish pond?"

The system and management of this era are flawed. On the one hand, there is no electronic office, and there is no trace to trace. On the other hand, there is no surveillance to investigate per person.

So it will appear that the accountant and cashier of the credit union are the same person, and the cashier of the supply and marketing cooperative can take the cash for goods and go shopping alone.

Li Xuewu especially considered whether someone would take advantage of this loophole, so he looked carefully at the environmental investigation in the case file.

Especially the key point of this case, how did the 50,000 yuan disappear?

The management environment survey of credit cooperatives shows that the establishment and system of credit cooperatives can be divided into two stages.

The first stage is from the early days of liberation to 1958, during which credit cooperatives were generally established and developed.

At that time, according to the instructions of the organization above to promote the cooperative policy, the "three major cooperations" were promoted in rural areas across the country, namely: production cooperatives, supply and marketing cooperatives, and credit cooperatives.

Although the credit cooperatives at that time were developed from small peasant economy, with a relatively small scale and low management level, the development of my country's credit cooperative business started from then on.

The second stage is from 1958 to the present, during which credit cooperatives experienced management twists and turns and adjustments.

At this time, the entire national economic system has changed under the influence of special guidelines and special policies.

In particular, the credit cooperative business has been the first to bear the brunt and has changed the most.

Especially this year, the port management of rural credit cooperatives has been handed over to communes and brigades, and the management of powers and personnel systems is very irregular.

Because they are in the same cooperative system, part of the goods and funds of supply and marketing cooperatives are deposited in credit cooperatives.

Li Xuewu was both entangled and helpless when he saw the management loopholes in the materials.

Don't be surprised. In this era, many management systems are not standardized and rely on self-consciousness and moral qualities to constrain them.

Don't say, except for some special cases, this kind of moral constraint is quite high, even higher than the law.

You can understand it by looking at the management model of later generations. Why do you say that all the lessons learned from blood have summed up a bunch of seemingly stupid operating systems, which are actually determined by the backward system norms formulation model.

Only when something happened did they know to plug the loopholes. The loss was not big and the plugging was not comprehensive. It seemed that a loophole was deliberately left here for those smart criminals to use.

Just say whether the accountant and the cashier can be held by the same person, and whether the cashier can go shopping with public funds. There was no lesson learned on this issue in the late 1990s.

After listening to Lai Shanchuan's report, Li Xuewu closed the materials in his hand, looked at Lai Shanchuan and asked: "Have you found the bicycle of the deceased?"

"What?"

Lai Shanchuan was stunned by his question, and then looked at the head of the criminal team sitting at the table.

"I have searched for it. When I was looking for Zhang Shuqin at the time of the crime, I investigated how the deceased disappeared and paid attention to the bicycle."

The person in charge of the criminal team frowned and said: "But nothing was found. It's like he disappeared with the deceased."

"At that time, we were also wondering if it had been discarded along the way or hidden somewhere."

He said with some confusion: "Since the discovery of the deceased yesterday, we have also been considering this issue, whether it was in the goldfish pond."

"Is there any result?"

Zheng Fuhua raised his head slightly and said, "Did anyone stay at the goldfish pond yesterday?"

"Yes, there is someone on duty."

The person in charge of the security team nodded and answered: "We have arranged for people to conduct surveillance. Someone did sneak onto the ice last night, but nothing was found."

"Don't be careless"

Zheng Fuhua frowned slightly and said, "Beware of hiding again. This situation is likely to happen."

"I found clues and was worried about being monitored, so I marked and hid them."

Lai Shanchuan explained to the head of the security team: "Director Zheng's intention is to ensure that their suspicious behavior is monitored without alerting the snake."

"this……"

The person in charge of the security team hesitated and said: "It's okay during the day, but it's hard to see clearly at night when there's moonlight."

"If there is no moon, we can only rely on human control and supervision. There is no other way."

"No, if someone is watching, this trick won't work."

Zheng Fuhua frowned and knocked on the table, focusing on Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is so close to the headquarters of the Third Guards Regiment, it's just a phone call away from you."

"I'm calling. Where can I find you directly?"

Zheng Fuhua pointed to Li Xuewu, the head of the security team, and said, "Ask Li Tuan to borrow an infrared night vision device. That thing might work."

"Li Tuan..."

The person in charge of the security team stood up to salute Li Xuewu, but was interrupted by the other party raising his hand.

Li Xuewu waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down and talk. He nodded and said, "I'll call you after we meet. You go get it."

"I've used that thing before. Good guy, the battery alone weighs 29 pounds. It's very tiring to carry around."

"The gun is mounted like a searchlight. We remove it and use it. Large targets such as tanks can be seen for one kilometer."

Li Xuewu explained to the other party: "If you want to take photos of people, three hundred meters is the limit. I estimate that you have to stay close for surveillance. About one hundred meters is more suitable."

"It's better than nothing!"

The person in charge of the security team grinned and said: "This 'night vision' is better than our eyes. At worst, we can get into a tunnel and keep a lookout. It's just too cold."

"Think of a way to overcome it."

Lai Shanchuan nodded and said: "Let's leave it like this for now and wait and see what the specific situation is."

The infrared night vision devices mentioned by Zheng Fuhua and Li Xuewu are not high-tech. They were used by the Germans during World War II.

The one we use now is a copy of the trophies seized during the war, and was successfully developed by the Yoshiki Optics and Mechanics Institute in 1958.

Li Xuewu's role was reflected in the case for the first time. Although it was not a key node, it still made everyone look at him with respect.

"Tell me about the case."

Zheng Fuhua asked Li Xuewu: "What do you think?"

“I still feel a lot suspicious.”

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "Judging from the current materials and results, it is certain that Zhang Shuqin committed suicide, and the inducement was probably the money."

"The murderer probably took her identity certificate and wrote letters in various places to confuse your attention."

"The reason is very simple."

Li Xuewu looked at Lai Shanchuan and said, "Because you found out her social connections, you may have touched the first layer of fuses in this case."

"It's...premeditated murder..."

Lai Shanchuan was startled, and then he thought about this situation. Before that, they had been judging the murder based on passion.

Very simply, from this point of view, it is very likely to be a robbery and murder case.

But following Li Xuewu's thinking, it turned into a premeditated murder case.

The difference between the two is huge, and they are not the same way of handling the case.

"I am also doing hypothetical analysis"

Li Xuewu saw the surprise of Lai Shanchuan and others, and explained: "First of all, Zhang Shuqin should not be prepared to run away with the money. You should know this."

"Yes, I have doubted it before."

Lai Shanchuan nodded and said: "At first we suspected that Zhang Shuqin had committed fraud and absconded, but we could not find any channels or traces of her departure."

"Then we suspected that something might have happened to Zhang Shuqin, and she was either killed by her accomplices or someone who took advantage of her wealth."

"But the appearance of that letter disrupted our vision and thinking, and coupled with the pressure... we are back to square one, pursuing the case as a fraud and absconding case."

"Well, now that I think about it, there is indeed a problem."

He frowned and thought, nodded and said: "Zhang Shuqin didn't tell her husband, let alone pack the valuables at home, and even the documents were at home. There is something wrong."

"Also, according to this survey, even the motivation for carrying public funds to go shopping in shopping malls is normal."

Li Xuewu clicked on the document and reminded: "Her sudden separation from her colleagues in front of the mall is problematic and suspicious. Have you done any investigation?"

"have"

The person in charge of the criminal team said: "We have interviewed the deceased's colleagues and found that she left directly on her bicycle and did not stay in front of the mall."

"That's strange. Where did she go?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "She clearly knows that she is holding public funds and money obtained through fraud. What is she going to do?"

"Think according to normal thinking"

Lai Shanchuan nodded his head and said: "She should take the money and fly away. Since she asked her colleagues to come with her, she should pass on the danger to them."

"I think so too"

Li Xuewu frowned and said: "All the clues show that there are many problems. It is impossible for a premeditated fraudster not to prepare a way out for himself."

"So, now there are three directions"

Li Xuewu looked at Zheng Fuhua and said: "One is to determine whether Zhang Shuqin committed fraud, whether she took the money, and who had contact with the money."

"The second is to investigate Zhang Shuqin's social relationships, including her lover, to see if there are any accomplices to help, crossing the river and burning bridges to kill people."

"The third is to investigate the cause of her death, trace her personal belongings and bicycle, and trace the murderer's methods and habits."

"We also need to trace the crime tools and the first crime scene to see if there was any robbery. We cannot be careless about this."

"right!"

Lai Shanchuan added: "Check whether the deceased had any motive for fraud and what he was going to use the money for. It's definitely not going to Hong Kong City!"

"If we rule out killings of passion and having accomplices as a fallback, it is possible to maintain normal life and work habits without obtaining documents if you are worried about the plan being exposed."

"It may not even be the person who died on the 29th. If that is the case, this case will be in big trouble."

"Um"

Zheng Fuhua nodded and said: "That makes sense. Although the possibility of the third direction is very small, we cannot be careless."

"Then check her social relationships, check the credit union's payment transfer and receipts, and check the factors leading to her death."

"so"

He pointed in Li Xuewu's direction and told Lai Shanchuan: "Anything involving re-investigation of records, please ask Comrade Xuewu to help take a look and check."

"Ok, no problem"

At this time, Lai Shanchuan had a new direction of investigation because the case analysis was very successful, so he also cheered up.

"We will interrogate Yu Lanfang again in a while, and we will also call the relevant personnel from the supply and marketing cooperative and the credit union to investigate. I just want to ask Li Tuan for help."

"That's it, divide the troops into several groups and start taking action."

Zheng Fuhua closed the notebook in front of him, raised his hand to look at the time on his hand, and said to Li Xuewu: "You have to work, and you have to eat lunch."

After speaking, he smiled and said to Lai Shanchuan: "Li Tuan doesn't like the skills of our master chef in the kitchen, so he told Master Zhang to make more hard dishes."

"Forget it, let's eat whatever we have."

Li Xuewu waved his hand to stop Lai Shanchuan, and turned to Zheng Fuhua and said, "I haven't eaten gasoline-flavored food for a long time. I miss you."

"Hahahaha~"

Lai Shanchuan and others laughed loudly and said: "The special dishes of the branch are delicious, so you can come back again, so please come back to our restaurant."

"..."

Li Xuewu twitched his lips after hearing his explanation and said: "This good name is in vain."

——

"Why are you here?"

After having dinner in the afternoon, Li Xuewu followed Lai Shanchuan and asked Yu Lanfang again.

It was also the first time he met someone directly involved in the case.

Yu Lanfang, an opera actor, the mainstay of the theater troupe, and the role of an old student.

According to Lai Shanchuan, this Yu Lanfang is no ordinary person. He is the adopted son of Mr. Ma, the master of Peking Opera, and the disciple of Mr. Tan. Mr. Li specially pointed it out.

Therefore, when they met, Li Xuewu saw that the other party did not receive any attention.

Peking Opera masters used to be prominent figures who could not be easily offended, but now they are worthless.

Masters are worthless, and students are nothing, especially if they are involved in a fraud case.

Of course, it is basically impossible for you to say that you have suffered a physical injury. Even if there is a project in front of you, it will not be too much.

But judging from the fact that this person's mental state is not very good, he must have suffered a lot. The intensity of professional interrogation is very mentally damaging.

However, judging from the way he sits and talks, this man is also a learned man. His speech is clear and coherent, and his face is slightly melancholy, but still plain.

Only when Lai Shanchuan informed him about the situation of his lover Zhang Shuqin, he lost control of his emotions.

But Li Xuewu didn't find anything suspicious, even though he, a master of psychology, was so fake.

Just because he didn't find anything suspicious didn't mean he didn't have any problems. Actors are good at hiding their emotions and inner fluctuations. Li Xuewu didn't trust anyone.

So he cried, and the two of them continued to ask without wasting any time.

When he came out of the interrogation room, Lai Shanchuan could see Li Xuewu's frown and knew that he had nothing to gain and could only continue to ask other people.

As soon as he entered the office door, Li Xuewu saw Lin Tingting sitting on a chair, and then he was surprised.

Lin Tingting was sitting there in a trance. When she heard someone entering the room, she looked over. When she saw Li Xuewu, her eyes widened in surprise.

Lai Shanchuan also looked at her in surprise, then at Li Xuewu, and asked, "Do you know this person too?"

He asked this, adding the word "ye" because Li Xuewu also knew the person who found the body yesterday. These four-nine cities are really too small.

"Yes, that Director Lai"

Li Xuewu twitched his lips, turned his back to Lai Shanchuan and said, "I'm afraid I have to avoid this case."

"Why?"

Lai Shanchuan raised his eyebrows, gestured to the woman sitting in the room, and asked softly: "Are you a relative?"

"Have dealt with objects"

Li Xuewu is a young man, and he has a working relationship with Lai Shanchuan, so there is no shame in saying this.

Especially when it comes to cases, you must not be vague when applying for recusal, otherwise you will be involved in problems if they arise.

He is here to help, not to be a source of grievance. Who knows how many people will be involved in this case.

If the investigation attention was drawn to himself, even if nothing happened, he would not be willing.

Seeing Li Xuewu about to leave, Lai Shanchuan grabbed him and said, "Don't talk to me about this. As long as it's not your wife or your relative, it doesn't matter how much you avoid me!"

As he spoke, he pulled Li Xuewu into the room and said, "This case has finally come to light. If I let you go, Director Zheng will scold me to death!"

"That's not what happened"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "I really didn't know she was involved in the case. If I had known, I would have..."

"It's useless, I will take charge of this case"

Lai Shanchuan is not stupid. Even if there is something wrong with the relationship between men and women, he does not believe that Li Xuewu will bend the law for this kind of relationship.

If you really use your connections to help the other party, you don't have to handle the case personally.

Besides, this woman is just a suspect, and she is very young. If she hadn't failed the background check, she wouldn't be sitting here.

"I will tell Director Zheng about this later. You can accompany me to handle the case without any worries and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

As he said just now, Li Xuewu is a man of great wisdom. The case has finally made some progress, so how can he be let go.

As he spoke, he pressed Li Xuewu on the chair and said to the stunned Lin Tingting: "Since you and Li Tuan are old acquaintances, our conversation will be much simpler."

"You try your best to help us investigate the case as clearly as possible and tell us all the relevant issues you know."

Lai Shanchuan sat next to Li Xuewu and signaled to Lin Tingting: "Tuan Li is here. This is the case handling expert we invited. Help me, help him, and help yourself."

"I……"

Lin Tingting moved her eyes from Li Xuewu to Lai Shanchuan and said, "I have told you everything I know. Haven't you investigated all the issues about me?"

"A new situation has arisen"

Lai Shanchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhang Shuqin is dead."

"What?!"

Li Xuewu could clearly see Lin Tingting's surprise, and her expression didn't look fake at this moment.

"How...how could...this happen..."

“That’s how it is”

Lai Shanchuan pursed his lips with regret and said, "Our two months of work were in vain."

"She died two months ago, very close to the day of the incident, that is, after you saw her for the last time."

"The last moment..."

The purpose of Lai Shanchuan's words was to make her go back to that point in time and re-examine whether she had forgotten the key.

Lin Tingting pinched her fingers awkwardly, frowning and thinking. The news of Zhang Shuqin's death brought her a lot of pain.

She was not only thinking about what happened during the last meeting, but also thinking about why Zhang Shuqin died.

In the past few months, Zhang Shuqin's fraud and absconding with money have seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and the questions about her have been cleared.

Unexpectedly, things took another turn. The fraud case became a case of absconding with money, and now it has become a murder case.

"Tell me what happened again."

Li Xuewu saw that she couldn't figure it out, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He clicked on the table to remind her to follow the diagram and start from the beginning.

Lin Tingting raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu, nodded and said: "I only had a half-day shift that day, and I made a temporary decision to go to Wangfujing to find the pair of leather shoes I like..."

The situation was simple. She was not Zhang Shuqin's partner in withdrawing money, and her actions that day had no working relationship with the money.

Otherwise, Li Xuewu would be grinning while reading the environmental survey data during the meeting upstairs, and the cashier could perform the withdrawal operation alone.

The two of them had lunch at the supply and marketing cooperative, and then rode to the credit cooperative together. She waited outside for Zhang Shuqin to get the money, and then rode to Wangfujing together.

Lin Tingting thought about it carefully, and when they both arrived at the gate of Wangfujing, Zhang Shuqin suddenly stopped her and said she had something to leave.

We had made an appointment to go back together after shopping in the mall. Lin Tingting's house was near the supply and marketing cooperative, so we were all on the way.

But she didn't care about Zhang Shuqin's sudden announcement of leaving. She thought the other party was going back to work, so she went to the mall by herself without asking.

"That's all I know"

Lin Tingting looked at Li Xuewu and Lai Shanchuan and said with a trembling voice: "This matter really has nothing to do with me."

"I'll ask, you'll answer"

Li Xuewu looked into her eyes and pointed his finger, reminding her to look at him.

"good"

Lin Tingting looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar face with mixed feelings in her heart.

Out of her trust in Li Xuewu, she forced herself to calm down and listened to his questions.

"How did you determine the time of separation from Zhang Shuqin?"

Li Xuewu clicked on the investigation information on the case report and asked, "There is something in it that is accurate to the minute."

"Watch, I have a watch"

Lin Tingting hesitated for a moment, but still lowered her head, rolled up her sleeves, and revealed the watch inside.

Li Xuewu glanced at it and nodded. He still remembered the watch, which was a wedding gift he gave to the other party.

At that time, he didn't have a watch ticket, and it was Lao Biaozi who helped him find it.

Things have changed, but the person is still the same, but there is a table between the two of them, and this table is very wide...
