The master and his disciple returned to the bureau. The brigade was about to hold the last case analysis meeting before the Spring Festival. The content was the case of Lu Jing murdering his wife.

Captain Huang also participated.

According to custom, all parties should summarize the situation first.

Wang Zheng said: "Our second team focused on investigating several female classmates who Wei Fenfang got along well with, a total of five people. They all said that Wei Fenfang knew how to deal with people and was not the kind of person who would always be competitive. They had never heard that she had enemies. She basically did not associate with men and had no problems with relationships between men and women. Although her family's financial conditions were not good, she had never asked her classmates for money."

"Her classmates all knew that Lu Jing beat people, so there was no need to never go to Wei Fenfang's house. All the gatherings were at classmates' houses or in small restaurants. According to the information obtained from the police station and our supplementary investigation, there is no problem with the deceased's classmates."

Fu Da put down the water glass, "Our team investigated the beer factory and found several female employees who had been to Lu's house. Among them, the one who took Wei Fenfang's pants more than half a month ago said that Wei Fenfang suddenly had her period and soiled her pants. She had no choice but to I asked for leave to go to Lu's house to pick up some clothes, and left after getting the things. The others went home with Wei Fenfang. "

Tan Yi asked while taking notes: "Why did they go to Lu's house, how long did they stay after they went there, and did they meet Lu Jing?"

Fu Da said: "Wei Fenfang likes to knit sweaters and is quite deft. We go to her house to learn sweater patterns. Wei Fenfang usually takes people home when Lu Jing is on the night shift, and has never met Lu Jing."

Xie Qing raised her head when she heard this.

Tan Yi and Huang Zhenyi also looked at each other.

Tan Yi said: "Check with the paper mill right away to see if Lu Jing has changed shifts?"

"I'll go." Li Ji got up and walked out.

Fu Da slammed the table in frustration, "Yes, no matter it was for money or murder, they should have done it when Lu Jing was not around. But Lu Jing was at home, it is very likely that someone got the information wrong."

Huang Zhenyi comforted him, "Those in power are confused, while bystanders can see things clearly. You were so focused on investigating the beer worker that you naturally forgot about Lu Jing. It's normal."

Fu Da scratched his head, "Yeah, then I won't blame myself."

Several veteran detectives in Group 1 looked at him and smiled maliciously.

Fu Da scolded, "What are you laughing at? It's as if you didn't go with me. If I'm a piece of trash, none of you can escape."

Du Zhun said, "Don't worry, I didn't want to run away."

Everyone laughed together, "Hahaha..."

Seven or eight minutes later, Li Ji came back, "Two days before the incident, someone swapped shifts with Lu Jing, because switching shifts means not being able to rest, so they couldn't be transferred back." Sure

enough.

Huang Zhenyi smoked, "It seems that Lu Jing is very likely to be wronged, but it's possible, and there must be evidence. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and this case is not easy to handle."

Police officers can work overtime, but ordinary people don't. If you go to someone's house to ask about the victim on New Year's Day and suspect that they are related to the murder case, you will definitely be beaten.

Huang Zhenyi puffed on half a cigarette, "How about this, there's no need to rush the case of Lu Jing. It's New Year's Day, so try not to disturb the people. The on-duty personnel should work hard and pay more attention to the motives of the crime and the means of entry and exit to see if there are any clues."

Du Zhun was excited, "Captain Huang means that everyone doesn't have to work overtime, right?"

Huang Zhenyi nodded, "It's been a busy year, especially the few days before the Spring Festival. Everyone is very hard. My opinion is that everyone should follow the duty schedule. If there is something, the year-end personnel will come to the rescue. Young people should work harder. What do you think, Captain Tan? "

Tan Yi said, "Captain Huang, don't worry. I will take care of it..."

Li Ji rushed to express his attitude, "Captain Huang, Captain Tan, don't worry. I'm fine. Call me!"

Li Ke and Ren Yaguang said in unison, "I'm fine too."

Huang Zhenyi laughed, "They are all good kids. Let's do this." At this point, he bowed his hands, "Old Huang, I wish you all a happy new year. I wish you all your dreams come true and everything goes well. The meeting is adjourned!"

Everyone also greeted the new year in a mess and went off work with laughter.

Xie Qing went to the cafeteria to eat alone.

After she had prepared the food and sat down, Tan Yi came with a plate of food.

He sat down opposite Xie Qing, nodded at her, and began to eat.

Xie Qing did the same, but not very fast. She picked up a piece of pig's trotter with fermented bean curd, first sipped the juice, then chewed the meat, and shaved every bone cleanly.

She had only eaten half of her meal when Tan Yi had finished.

He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then said, "I'm going to the scene later. Do you want to come with me?"

Xie Qing said, "Yes."

Tan Yi smiled, "You are very interested in criminal investigation."

Xie Qing picked up a fried small yellow croaker, "I love what I do."

Tan Yi was about to speak when his cell phone rang. He quickly picked it up and walked out while typing.

Xie Qing heard the word "Grandpa" and thought to herself, the old man is old, and Tan Yi didn't go back for the New Year. I'm afraid he will regret it in the future.

Thinking of this, she shook her head again. This is how the police job is. Unless you don't do it, there's no way to regret it.

...

At six o'clock in the evening, Tan Yi's Santana stopped at the entrance of Lujia Hutong.

It was New Year's Eve soon, and red lanterns were lit at the gates of several households. The red light was not that bright, but at least the general situation in the alley could be seen clearly, and the haze brought by the Lu family murder case was reduced a lot.

Du Zhun was on duty at night and came along.

He was diligent in his words and hands. He walked forward quickly, pulled open the seal, and pushed open the door.

Tan Yi stood outside the door, scanning the gate and the courtyard wall back and forth with a flashlight. The glass on the courtyard wall encountered the light and refracted a dazzling light.

Du Jun said, "There is glass on the wall. It is quite difficult to climb up the wall, but if there is a rope, things will be easier."

Xie Qing asked, "Where is the rope hung?"

Du Jun answered as a matter of course, "On the broken glass!"

The glass is very short and very fragile. One or two pieces may not be able to hold up, but what about a row

of broken glass? Tan Yi thought it made some sense. He found a short rope from the trunk, threw it on the wall, and wrapped it half a circle around a row of broken glass. He stretched it... The glass did not break, but the cement on the wall broke.

Du Jun laughed twice and said self-deprecatingly, "I took it for granted, but it was late at night and it was dark. I think it is possible that the murderer came with a bench."

Xie Qing's eyes fell on the end of the alley. It was a dead end, and the family at the back had a pile of bricks outside.

She said quietly, "There's no need to move the benches. Just move a few bricks."

Du Jun shook his head, "Move them back after use? Why? Do you have a grudge against Lu Jing and want to frame him?"

Tan Yi said, "It's possible that the murderer has observed the alley after midnight and found that someone was working the early shift. He was afraid that the deceased would not be fully dead, and he was also afraid that he could not escape far."

"Yes, my family sells seafood, and my old man sometimes leaves at two or three in the morning." The lady next door opened the door and came out, "You have worked hard too. It's New Year's Day tomorrow, and you still come to investigate this case today."

Du Jun smiled and said, "It's my duty. I'm sorry to bother you."

The lady waved her hands, "No way, Fenfang is a poor child, I'm not afraid." She asked Tan Yi again, "If that's the case, then the murderer is not Lu Jing?"

Tan Yi took two steps forward, "Did you find anything unusual here when the crime happened?"

Where he pointed with his foot, there was a small empty piece of glass on the wall - that was also where the clothing fibers were found.

The old lady took a look and said, "When they heard someone was dead, everyone rushed over. How could they have noticed these things? Besides, you police officers didn't notice anything either."

This sounded like an accusation.

Xie Qing came to the rescue and said, "So, the scene was still damaged."

Du Zhun kicked the mud twice, "It's not impossible that the murderer wiped the dirt with his feet before leaving."

Tan Yi walked towards the pile of bricks.

Du Zhun and Xie Qing understood and followed immediately. Each of them carried a pile of bricks and piled them under the wall, raising it by about 50 centimeters.

Du Zhun stood on it, grabbed a handful of the wall, and jumped hard... but failed to get up.

He jumped down awkwardly, "I have enough arm strength, but not enough height."

Tan Yi took off his bag and handed it to Xie Qing, then stood up, holding the wall with both hands, padding his feet, supporting his arms on the wall, and put his right foot on it, squatting on the wall.

He walked east along the edge of the wall, turned north at the end, and went down from the coal chute in the yard.

After coming out, Tan Yi said, "It's probably okay to be a little shorter than me."

Du Zhun is 1.75 meters tall, and Tan Yi is 1.88 meters tall.

Xie Qing nodded. "The murderer was very careful. Not only did he make use of the brick pile and the coal chute, he also knew that there were no dogs in these two alleys."

"Alas... there was a dog, but the dog barked whenever my old man went out, making everyone uneasy, so the neighbors had to send it away. If they knew someone would die... Well, I won't say anything. You guys are busy. I'm going back. Let me know if you have anything!" She wrapped her clothes tightly and went back with heavy steps.

"Money is hard to buy. Let's go in." Du Zhun entered the yard first. "We have roughly guessed how the murderer came in and left, but we still don't know what the murderer did. He didn't want sex, money, or revenge. What did he want? Did he want the poor Lu family, or did he want Lu to get into trouble, or did he just want excitement?"

Xie Qing felt that Tan Yi was right to ask Du Zhun to come. Not only did it perfectly relieve the embarrassment of a single man and a single woman, but it was also like listening to a crosstalk, which made his thinking more active.

Tan Yi didn't answer him, but he was obviously thinking too.

Xie Qing said, "The excitement is the most troublesome thing for us, let's not consider it for now. The deceased has not been violated, so we have to find the answer according to the money."

Du Zhun said twice at the three dark rooms, "The only thing missing is the empty house. Captain Tan, where do we start looking?"

Tan Yi said, "Start in the yard."

"Ah?" Du Zhun was puzzled. "What could be in this yard?"

Tan Yi asked Xie Qing to hand him the satchel and took out a camera with a flash from it. "I don't know what's in it, but we can take a few more photos and let Lu Jing identify what's missing from his house." Xie Qing

immediately remembered that Tan Yi had been looking at an oil-kettle seal for a long time. "Captain Tan suspected that the Lu family had cultural relics that they didn't know about, and that the colleagues brought by Wei Fenfang saw them. They didn't dare to steal them at the time, so they came to steal them late at night. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by the deceased?"

Tan Yi smiled. "You're right. My grandpa called me and asked me what gift I had prepared for him for the New Year. I said I found a snuff bottle for him from an antique stall, and then I suddenly had an idea."

Du Zhun is an old policeman. Not only has he handled tomb robberies, but he also knows how cultural relic dealers operate. He clapped his hands and shouted, "This idea is awesome!"

Tan Yi said, "If it's right, it's awesome. If it's not right, it's just wishful thinking. You guys go around and look around first, and I'll take pictures."
