Chapter 145 Broken Promise
There were surprises and accidents.
To express his gratitude, Tan Yi peeled a shrimp for Chai Yu.
Chai Yu said with emotion: "Qingqing, the sun is really rising from the west."
Xie Qing asked: "Has Brother Chai also peeled shrimp for Captain Tan?"
Chai Yu paused and smiled.
Xie Qing understood, "So there is no such thing."
Chai Yu said seriously, "Is it appropriate for two grown men to pick on each other?"
"It's indeed inappropriate." Tan Yi put the second shrimp, which he had peeled neatly, on Xie Qing's panpan plate, "Little Xie, eat it, he's not worth it."
Xie Qing suddenly remembered the scene when Tan Yi boiled oysters for her in the hot pot restaurant. She said at that time that she would not fall in love with him if Tan Yi didn't pick up dishes for her thousands of times.
It seems a bit embarrassing!
However, it doesn't count. At the current stage, it's just a glance, far from falling in love...
Forget it, why think so much.
Tan has so many peach blossom debts, she can just use him as a wall to climb.
…
After eating the shrimp, Xie Qing cleaned up the kitchen, brewed three cups of hot tea, found three sets of paper and pens, plugged in the electric heater that Xie Chen had brought, and then sat down next to Chai Yu and Tan Yi.
The data in Beijing was for finding the mastermind, and it was only related to the two wars, and the number of people was not too large.
There were no computers in the 1960s and 1970s, so the data was roughly organized and could not be indexed according to strokes or the first letter of the surname.
It could only be searched page by page with the human eye.
Chai Yu flipped through the files, "What are you looking for? How are you looking for it?"
Tan Yi said, "The first task is to classify the two lists according to the units they belong to."
Chai Yu said, "Classify, and then what?"
Tan Yi said, "Then put the information of Mayor Jiang, Mayor Shen's father, and some people related to the case into it, and analyze the pattern from it."
Chai Yu nodded, "I see."
Tan Yi meant that the murderer killed the descendants of the meritorious service, which should be that there was an irreconcilable conflict among some people at that time, or someone should have made a contribution but ended up being unknown, and the murderer was unwilling to give up and deliberately took revenge.
The three of them were all elites and their work efficiency was very high. For a while, the only sound in the restaurant was the continuous flipping of papers.
At about 9:30, Tan Yi put down his paper and pen, "It's getting late, I have to go back to the bureau, let's stop here today."
Because it was a girl's home, he was very careful about the time.
Xie Qing did not try to keep them and sent them out.
...
The next morning, Xie Qing saw old man Zheng at the gate with a sign around his neck that read "My son died unjustly, Cao Haisheng, give me back my son."
She understood that no matter whether the murderer was her master or not, the Zheng family hated him.
The reason was simple. Zheng Wenkai died because Cao Haisheng did not lend him money. If he had lent him money, he would not have made that trip and would not have died.
No matter whose son died so tragically, they would be very sad. From this point of view, she sympathized with the Zheng family and Zheng Wenkai.
But the Zheng family is so unreasonable and has no limit to consuming Cao Haisheng, which is really disgusting.
She dares to guarantee that they will get nothing in the end.
She locked the car and trotted to the cafeteria. Before she reached the door, she heard the noise inside.
"What's wrong with this daily newspaper? They dare not be realistic when publishing news?"
"That's right. They only listen to the Zheng family's one-sided words and blame Section Chief Cao openly and secretly. Are they crazy?"
"When will it be a crime not to lend money? What a joke!"
...
After listening to these discussions, Xie Qing knew what the daily newspaper wrote without reading the newspaper.
She really felt that the editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper had a crooked ass, and the Municipal Bureau needed to investigate the daily newspaper.
Entering the cafeteria, she first scanned and found Cao Haisheng - he was sitting in the corner with Li Ke.
After eating, Xie Qing sat down next to Cao Haisheng, looked at his bowl of wontons, which was still full, and asked: "Master, are you getting irritated?"
Cao Haisheng said: "A little bit."
Xie Qing took a bite of the bun, "You have to eat even if you have an irritation, and you have to do an assessment in the morning."
Li Ke also advised: "'Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry.' Eat, Chief Cao, let's not argue with them."
"Eat." Cao Haisheng scooped a large spoonful of wontons into his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed it.
His eye bags were darker. It was only a day, but he looked as haggard as if a year had passed.
At eight o'clock, Xie Qing and Cao Haisheng set out for the city hospital and did not participate in the discussion of the dismemberment case by the Second Brigade.
At the same time, Tan Yi went upstairs to attend a small meeting of four people organized by Yan Ju.
Yan Ju said: "This matter is a big fuss. If the case is not solved within three days, the wording of the daily newspaper will be more intense."
Lu Qiyuan said: "Yan Ju, the seaside is empty and it is difficult to find witnesses and evidence. Isn't three days too tight?"
Yan Ju said: "You think it's tight, but ordinary people will only think it's slow. The family of the deceased is making trouble at the door. Not only will the bureau lose face, but Cao Haisheng will also be unable to deal with it. Over time, it will be a huge blow to him."
This is the harsh fact. Lu Qiyuan had nothing to say and had to look at Huang Zhenyi.
Huang Zhenyi looked at Tan Yi again.
Tan Yi had no choice but to say, "Director Yan, I can't guarantee three days, but I promise to do my best."
Solving a case is not about pressing a button. If you press it, it will be three days.
Director Yan wants attitude, "Tell me, what have you found so far?"
Tan Yi said, "The Development Zone Branch is responsible for investigating the witnesses who were at the time of the incident to the deceased and Section Chief Cao. There is no news yet. Our bureau is responsible for investigating the dismembered people and the source of the nitrogen fertilizer bags. We have obtained the list of surgeons from several hospitals, and we will start working on the nitrogen fertilizer bags immediately."
Director Yan asked, "Are there any key suspects?"
Tan Yi shook his head. Without any clues, how could there be any suspects?
Although he was young, his face was several shades darker than usual, as if it was painted with thick ink.
Yan Ju could not bear to blame him anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Go check it, hurry up."
Tan Yi went back to the second floor to hold a small meeting, made a reasonable allocation of manpower, then put on his backpack, and drove to Zheng's wharf where the Zheng family lived with Liu Feng and others.
Fu Da led people to the area around Lin's wharf.
There was a large piece of land around Zheng's wharf, and the farmers had made the land very flat, so you couldn't tell what was planted.
Li Ke and Liu Feng got out of the car together and asked the middle-aged woman who was sitting on the ground drinking water, "Auntie, what are you planting on this land?"
"This land of ours is all corn." The woman glanced at the police car, "You are investigating Zheng Wenkai's case, right?"
"Yes." Liu Feng agreed and asked carefully, "Does Zheng Wenkai have any enemies in your village?"
"No, his brother-in-law is a policeman, why would anyone mess with him?"
"What's his character like?"
"Well... the person is dead, what can we say? It's okay, no one offends him too much."
"What's the relationship between him and his brother-in-law?"
"There was no fight before. Before Zheng Wenkai got into trouble, the Zheng family beat Cao Haisheng because he borrowed money. That guy is actually a good person and he has given the Zheng family a lot of money."
"Does your village grow corn?"
"That's about right. This thing is worry-free. Someone will collect it at a certain time."
"Are there any doctors or medical college students in your village?"
"I haven't heard of that."
...
The above questions were repeated seven or eight times from the field to the village, and the answers were similar.
It can be seen that the Zheng family's suspicion of Cao Haisheng is not unreasonable.
The police car left the Zheng family's cave, first heading north, then west, and slowly moved along the road that Zheng Wenkai took before his death.
Five minutes later, this road passed through Muta Town.
Tan Yi asked Liu Feng to stop the car in front of a small store.
A man in his fifties stood outside and asked, "Are you investigating a case?"
Tan Yi showed his ID, "Yes."
The man said, "The police have asked several times, but we don't know the man and we didn't see anything."
Tan Yi walked up to him and asked, "Do you have any doctors here, or students studying medicine?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"Please answer my questions directly."
"There is a doctor, but he is not in our city. He is in Wuling County. His family has settled there and he hasn't been back for two or three months."
"How old is he? Has he been back recently?"
"Forty years old. I haven't seen him back in the past two days."
"Are his parents still alive?"
"No, his brother's house is still here."
"Where is it?"
"That silver gate."
"What does his brother do?"
"He farms and grows corn."
"What are their names?"
"The eldest is Feng Qi, the second is Feng Huan."
Tan Yi thanked him and walked across the street. Li Ke followed him and ran over first to knock on the door.
A woman asked, "Who is it?"
Tan Yi said, "We are the police, open the door."
The door opened silently, and a woman in her thirties asked vigilantly, "What happened?"
Tan Yi asked, "Is Feng Huan here?"
The woman said, "He went to work in the fields, he's not at home."
Tan Yi asked, "Has Feng Qi been back recently?"
The woman said, "No, do you have something to do with them?"
Tan Yi did not answer her question, "Where is Feng Huan? Can you tell me?"
The woman pointed to the southeast, "You can see him if you go out of this alley."
Tan Yi thanked her, returned to the car, and asked Liu Feng to follow the direction the woman pointed into the alley.
Two minutes later, Tan Yi found Feng Huan.
This is a man who looks honest, wearing a straw hat, with skin tanned by the sun.
Tan Yi asked him, "Are you Feng Huan?"
The man looked at him suspiciously, "Who are you and what do you want from me?"
Tan Yi said, "Has your brother come back these two days?"
"My brother?" Feng Huan shook his head, "No, he didn't come back, why are you looking for him?"
Tan Yi said, "Where were you at 6:30 pm on April 26th?"
Feng Huan was puzzled, "Of course I was at home."
Tan Yi said sorry for disturbing him and got in the car.
The car returned to the right road and drove forward for another five minutes before Tan Yi called for a stop again.
This is a relatively open road, with farmland on the south side and a small forest on the north side. Next to the small forest is a small path that can pass tricycles.
Tan Yi got off the car and looked at the path. There were obvious wheel tracks and footprints.
Li Ke asked: "Captain Tan, do you suspect that Zheng Wenkai had done something here?"
Tan Yi nodded, "Zheng Wenkai had drunk some wine and suddenly had to go to the restroom when he walked here. When he came out, he almost bumped into the man driving the tricycle, so the two had an argument... or Zheng Wenkai discovered something, and the other party killed him to silence him."
Liu Feng also came over and said: "This speculation is reasonable. If the two knew each other, the murderer chose to cover up the identity of the deceased in order not to be exposed, and cruelly dismembered Zheng Wenkai's body."
