Zhang Dingshan said it with utmost solemnity. Sensing his solemnity, the security guards who performed this mission also felt awe-inspiring in their hearts.

People have heard about the unusual suicide cases in Blue Lake City. The three people in front of them were investigators sent by their superiors. They said it could be life-threatening, and of course it was true.

as well as……

From the looks of it, it seems that these three people sent down from above have some important clues?

The security guards were nervous and excited at the same time.

With the assistance of the local police station responsible for public security on Nanlin Street, an investigation was launched quietly.

There is a lot of movement of people here on Nanlin Street. Restaurants open and close, and then close and open again. One owner takes over today, and another owner takes over tomorrow. There is frequent turnover. The same is true for the old residents. Some come here to live for a few months during this period, and then leave after a while, and some open their own shops. To investigate who has stayed here for a long time, file searches alone are not enough; on-the-spot investigation is required.

So this year's migrant population screening operation started in advance.

Such operations are carried out every year by the Nanlin Street Police Station. Anyone who has stayed in Nanlin Street for a long time knows this.

Only this time, more elite soldiers and generals quietly joined in and entered the front line of investigation. Moreover, the investigation process is more formal, and the attitude is better when communicating with merchants and residents.

This was specifically requested by Zhang Dingshan.

If a security guard is rude and offends the murderer hiding in the dark, and loses his life for no apparent reason, then it's not worth it.

The entire investigation process lasted three days. During these three days, every merchant, every tenant, and every household was thoroughly inspected. And in compliance with the orders of the second operation team, the security officers also went back to the past year during the investigation.

Such a huge operation, on the surface, hardly attracted the slightest attention from irrelevant personnel. Nanlin Street is still busy with traffic and crowds of people. Every store is still full of customers during peak hours.

Three days later, all the investigation information was compiled at the Blue Lake City Public Security Bureau. After screening based on the previous restrictions, a person's file was soon placed in front of the three members of the second action team.

There are tens of thousands of permanent residents in Nanlin Street, and this is the only one who meets the screening criteria.

This man's name is Wang Quan.

Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, and He Wei looked at Wang Quan's photos and information on the screen with solemn expressions.

On the screen, Wang Quan is a middle-aged man with a slightly ugly appearance.

He has small eyes, sparse hair, an upturned nose, and pockmarks on his face. He is short, only 1.6 meters tall, thin and weighs only 53 kilograms. I am 46 years old, have a primary school education, and am unmarried. There is only one sister in the family.

His parents are deceased. The only sister married in another city and had a bad relationship with him. They broke off contact with her after a big fight almost twenty years ago.

Wang Quan is an old resident of Nanlin Street. His family owns an old house on Nanlin Street, but it has no street frontage and has limited commercial value. Now it has fallen into disrepair and is dilapidated.

He has no legitimate occupation and currently makes a living by selling a snack called "chestnut cake". He made chestnut cakes at home, and during the peak dining season on Nanlin Street, he pushed a small food cart to sell on the street.

Profile investigation showed that Wang Quan had an introverted and eccentric personality and basically did not interact with others.

As Nanlin Street became a food street, its popularity grew day by day, and the old residents of Nanlin Street became rich one by one. Even if you don't have a serious business, you can rent out your home and open a shop or restaurant, and you can live a good life on the rent alone. There is no one like Wang Quan who lives such a miserable life and his standard of living is not as good as that of ordinary people.

Such a person...could he be the murderer?

Looking at Wang Quan's ugly face, Lu Ming had some doubts in his heart.

After he thought about it, after mastering this supernatural power that can make people commit suicide, even an ordinary person can use this ability to live a prosperous life without any hidden dangers.

In fact, Lu Ming was mentally prepared to find out a certain invisible rich man. He really didn't expect that the person who was finally found out would be such a person at the bottom of society.

I am a bachelor, have no children, have no stable income, and live in a shabby house. I guess I am at the bottom, right?

How could it be so miserable?

Could it be a mistake?

"Check first and then talk."

Zhang Dingshan made a decision.

"yes."

The investigation of Wang Quan is still extremely cautious and secretive. Zhang Dingshan issued a death order. No matter what, he must not be alarmed or let him know that someone was investigating him.

After all, he has not been cleared of suspicion and has the possibility of mastering supernatural powers.

When formulating the investigation plan, the security officers discovered that Wang Quan had a roughly fixed location. Not far from his booth, there was a surveillance camera managed by the Public Security Bureau. It's just that the performance of this monitoring probe is limited and the pictures cannot be clearly captured.

With just one phone call from Zhang Dingshan, ultra-high-performance surveillance probes were brought in from other places and installed directly. Not only that, Zhang Dingshan also asked Lu Qingliang to contact a cutting-edge acoustic laboratory and found a customized high-performance directional radio that was not available on the market.

This radio can adjust its aiming direction by itself. Once aligned, even in a noisy environment, the sound of normal conversation and communication from people up to 100 meters away in that direction can be captured.

Under normal circumstances, the distance between Wang Quan's stall and the surveillance probe and radio will not exceed fifty meters. In this way, both Wang Quan's images and sounds will be completely captured.

After fixing Wang Quan's "work" place, the security officers also made corresponding arrangements for Wang Quan's residence.

Wang Quan lives in an ordinary courtyard, which is basically the same as a farmyard. On the streets where the Wang family went to work, security guards also installed hidden surveillance and radio equipment.

On the outer wall of his house - this belongs to another family. It is almost impossible for him to detect things installed here. He also installed invisible radios that can be eavesdropped through the wall. High-performance surveillance equipment was installed on a building a hundred meters away from his home, which could directly take pictures of his courtyard and windows.

As for the interior of the Wang family, no arrangements have been made for the time being. He Wei once proposed to sneak in quietly when Wang Quan was not around and install eavesdropping and surveillance equipment in each of his rooms, but Zhang Dingshan rejected this suggestion after thinking about it.

The reason is simple. Before it is ruled out that Wang Quan has supernatural powers, entering his room without authorization may involve unpredictable risks.

At present, the most important thing is to be safe.

Thus, such a dragnet was constructed. And Wang Quan should be completely unaware of all this.

The next morning after completing all this, the three members of the second operation team came to the monitoring room.

During the surveillance, through the window, a high-performance camera captured Wang Quan still sleeping in bed. After a while, he turned over and got up. After that, I ate something casually and started busy in the kitchen.

The steamer basket, dough, eggs, chestnuts, etc. are all ready. Apparently, he was going to start making chestnut cake.

Lu Ming noticed that when Wang Quan made chestnut cake, he did not use the natural gas delivered by the municipal system, but the large gas tank he purchased himself.

After checking the municipal natural gas system, Lu Ming saw that Wang's family had already connected to natural gas and there was no arrears. Why gas tanks are used? Lu Ming guessed that it might be because the natural gas firepower is not strong enough.

It was busy until almost noon when the fluffy and soft chestnut cake was finished.

The chestnut cake is one meter long, about 60 centimeters wide, and about ten centimeters thick. When it's time to sell, he will use a knife to cut it into cubes about one decimeter in length and sell them piece by piece.

On this day, he produced two boards. If sold, it can make 120 servings. Wang Quan set the price for a portion at 7 yuan. If you buy 3 yuan, you will get a discount of 1 yuan, 20 yuan.

When all are sold out, he can sell them for about 800 yuan. Excluding costs, you can earn about 350 yuan.

This income seems pretty good. However, according to past surveys, Wang Quan usually cannot sell so much in a day. In addition, sometimes the weather is bad and he cannot sell his stall, so his income is somewhat unstable. On average, I can only earn less than 5,000 yuan a month.

But he is a single man, and this money is enough for him to live on.

After finishing the chestnut cake, he moved it to the small dining car. Before going out, Wang Quan scooped out the water for steaming the chestnut cake and carried the sewage bucket out.

Not far from his door was the sewer. But instead of pouring the water into the sewer, he poured it directly on the right side of the door.

The cement road, which was already full of potholes and dirt, suddenly became muddy.

After that, he put the bucket into his home, pushed the small dining cart, and walked calmly towards Nanlin Street on the left side of the door.

He Wei frowned.

"This person is so unethical. Can't you just walk a few more steps? You have to pour water there."

Wang Quan went to Nanlin Street to set up a stall. After a while, Wang Quan's neighbor's house opened the door, and three young girls wearing XX hot pot restaurant uniforms went out together and walked towards Nanlin Street.

Seeing a large pool of sewage and mud in front of them, the three little girls suddenly looked unhappy.

According to preliminary investigations, Wang Quan's neighbor's house has been rented out, and the tenants are these three little girls.

The rent of this kind of farmhouse is very low, which is very suitable for people who come to Nanlin Street to work and have poor economic conditions to rent.

Their conversation was transmitted to the monitoring room through a high-performance radio, and was heard by Zhang Dingshan and the other security guards.

"This is too unqualified."

"Yeah, can you die if you walk a few more steps?"

"This happens every day! It's so annoying."

"Xiao Li, let's go find him! He's selling chestnut cakes at a stall not far from the street."

"Yes, you are making trouble with him! You are so incompetent!"

The two little girls were filled with indignation and wanted to go to Wang Quan for explanation. The other girl, who looked the most mature and steady, hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better to say goodbye. That person looks so weird. If he goes crazy..."

"Why are you so timid? There are three of us and he is the only one. Are you still afraid of him?"

"It still doesn't work. I heard him sharpening his knife several times in the middle of the night... It's so scary. Let's endure it, save some money, and let's find another place to live."

"..."

The three little girls chatted for a while, and finally decided to endure it and suffer some grievances.

So the three of them carefully picked a place without mud and bypassed it.

It's almost midday rush hour. There were gradually more and more people on Nanlin Street, and Wang Quan also welcomed his first customer of the day.

"How to sell chestnut cake?"

Wang Quan glanced sideways at the customer and pointed to the sign next to him.

"Bring me three."

Then the second, the third...

Until the afternoon rush hour passed, everything was normal.

Wang Quan's business seems to be good today. After noon, the first chestnut cake was almost sold out, with only five pieces left.

Another person bought three pieces, leaving only two pieces.

At this time, two people, a man and a woman who seemed to be lovers, came over. The girl saw Wang Quan's stall and came over excitedly: "Bring me three yuan."

Wang Quan glanced at the girl, lowered his head, and took the chestnut cake in silence.

In addition to the two pieces of chestnut cake left before, there is still one piece missing. But Wang Quan did not uncover the cloth on the second chestnut cake, but took out another chestnut cake from under the cart.

The girl suddenly looked unhappy: "When did this come from? It's all dry. I don't want it. You cut it for me from the top of this new piece."

Wang Quan whispered: "They are all the same and delicious."

"It's all dry, can it be delicious? I don't want this!"

"I haven't started cutting this big piece yet, it's not worth cutting just one piece...just take this one, it's the same."

"Whether it's worth it or not is your business. Will you sell it or not? If not, I won't want it."

"They're all the same, you have to let me cut new ones?"

Wang Quan's voice was a bit unkind.

"I don't want it, okay? Huh, let's go."

A man and a woman turned and left.

Wang Quan suddenly became excited.

"You can't leave! You look down on people, right? Are you bullying others? Isn't it great to be rich? Bully me for being poor? Are you kidding me?"

His face was twisted, and his eyes were full of ferocious light, as if he had been greatly wronged, and he looked like a wild beast.

The boy also became angry: "How can you talk? Who bullied you? If you don't sell, why don't we buy? Why are you bullying others?"

"I've already pretended and you don't want me. What's that if I'm not bullying? Is it easy for me to just set up a stall? You bully me when you think I'm poor, right? You bully me when you think I'm thin and short, right? You rich people None of it is good!”

Wang Quan screamed, and even picked up the knife in his excitement. Although I don't mean to kill anyone yet, it is quite scary.

The boy showed no fear and was about to continue distinguishing, but the girl calmed down. She grabbed the boy and said quickly: "Uncle, don't be excited, let's buy it, can't we buy it?"

"Xiaoqing, don't be afraid of him! He..."

The girl pinched the boy hard to stop him from speaking, then she quickly took out 20 yuan and put it on Wang Quan's dining cart, grabbed the three chestnut cakes and left.
