Chapter 264 Arrest! 'Guess. ' [Monthly vote requested! ]

"Who is Lao Zhang?"

"Mr. Zhang's name is Zhang Hongliang. He came here a month ago. He looks like a beggar. His clothes are in rags and he has a bad smell."

"But it doesn't matter. Is there any man in the mine who doesn't smell a little bit?"

"Lao Zhang is a kind and hard-working man. Although his life is hard, he will never forget his brothers when he has something good to offer."

The man who was eating walked away with his bowl in his hand, showing the sausage in his hand as he spoke.

"This is what he gave me. Such a big piece of meat must cost a lot of money."

"He doesn't feel bad, but I heard him say that he used to be a big boss. But I think he's just bragging. How could a big boss end up like a beggar?"

Everyone walked towards the cafeteria.

The tin canteen is a very common thing. It looks like the tin house where doctors stayed when the world was sick in those years.

It’s just that the iron canteen in the mine is larger, and there are several of them connected together.

At this time, everyone stood in front of the door.

"Squeak~"

The sound of the iron door opening rang out, and the scene inside the cafeteria came into view.

A few workers who were eating, their faces covered with slag, were stunned for a moment, holding their bowls and looking out the door.

"What are you doing?"

"Are you going to let me eat or not?!"

In the cafeteria, mine owner Du Jian, who was eating with a bowl in his hand, suddenly had a dark complexion and was yelling something.

'Still alive'

Zhao Hailong understood and looked around calmly.

Xu Hao walked casually into the crowd and observed.

His nose twitched.

The next second, countless smells from the surroundings instantly rushed into the nasal cavity!

It stinks, very stinky.

Almost everyone had a disgusting smell of sweat on them, and among them Xu Hao smelled a faint but familiar scent.

He looked towards Du Jian's side. There was no one there, only some stains left from eating.

"Boss Du, where is the person next to you?"

Xu Hao asked with a smile.

Du Jian was a little confused. He picked up the sausage in the bowl with chopsticks, took a bite, chewed it, and swallowed it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Are you talking about Lao Zhang?"

"He asked me for half a day off and left."

"when?"

"About ten minutes ago."

"Ten minutes"

Hearing this, Zhao Hailong couldn't help but glanced up and down at Du Jian, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

"Yes." Du Jian said.

"What?" Zhao Hailong frowned.

"I can't eat with you guys here." Du Jian snorted.

Zhao Hailong: He left behind a few men in plain clothes, and then retreated without saying a word.

The group returned to the mine.

"Tsk, you guessed half right."

Xu Huo smacked his lips and started smoking another cigarette.

"The smell is right, it's this person, but he didn't kill Du Jian."

Zhang Liang on the side was a little confused.

Zhang Hongliang's target was indeed Du Jian, but the other party did not take action.

Why not take action?

Because of the police?

Because there are a lot of police here, he doesn't dare to take action?

That's not right. If he ran away because the police were there, then why didn't he leave quickly two days ago?

But he happened to meet Du Jian, and chatted with him for a while before leaving. Zhang Liang didn't know the reason.

But there is no need to know right now.

It won't hinder them from arresting people! "I'll go mobilize the police dogs." Zhao Hailong said.

But before he could take any action, he saw Xu Hao taking the initiative and walking towards somewhere with a purpose.

His nose twitched from time to time while he walked.

Zhao Hailong:?

Are all the criminal police from other places so versatile? Even though there are countless question marks in my mind.

But Zhao Hailong still suppressed his anger, waved to a few policemen, ordered them to call in police dogs, and then quickly caught up with Xu Hao.

Zhang Liang had long been accustomed to it and was too lazy to ask.

Xu Hao didn't go too deep.

In order to avoid being mistaken for a dog detective, he walked for a few dozen meters, determined the approximate direction, then stopped and pointed his hand into the distance.

"Probably went to that area."

Zhao Hailong's face was full of surprise.

Sure enough, the police from other places are different from the locals. They all have this skill! He quickly took action to direct the search.

Xu Hao walked and stopped.

The direction of the breath is a small town.

This place is not very developed, and there is even an eerily quiet atmosphere with few passers-by.

It was probably because of a coal mine problem nearby. The noisy noise drove away all the townspeople, and the only ones left were basically the elderly and children.

Not long.

Zhao Hailong's men then sent the news.

The three followed the guide and finally came to a wasteland near the town.

There was a wooden shed on the wasteland, covered with plastic film.

It’s not big, but it’s not just a single room either. The interior is divided into two areas by a sheet.

At this time, there were four or five policemen standing in this place that looked like a melon shed.

"Boss."

A policeman approached Zhao Hailong and whispered:

"This should be Zhang Hongliang's home, inside."

As he spoke, he seemed to have no idea how to organize his words. His brows furrowed, and he was thinking about how to report.

Xu Hao opened the door panel, and in an instant, the environment inside the door was in full view.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!!”

A throat-tearing, slightly shrill howl sounded.

Xu Hao paused and looked sideways.

The person making the sound is a person, or... a woman, probably, probably a woman.

The other person was covered in stains, his clothes were tattered, his hair was messy, and he was hiding in a dark and dilapidated wooden shed, with several sheets covering his body, and a pair of terrified eyes looking outside the house.

Xu Hao paused.

"Is this Zhang Cuiping?"

Zhang Liang behind him was surprised and looked at Zhao Hailong.

The only person related to the murderer is Zhang Cuiping.

Of course, it may also be because the information collected was not detailed enough and others were missed.

"Probably." Zhao Hailong said in a low voice.

Xu Hao exerted a little more force with his hand.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

Rays of light illuminated the dark room, and the woman kept dodging to the side like a mouse encountering a cat.

“Bang!”

She fell off the bed, curled up in the corner, and looked at Zhao Hailong and others with horror in her eyes.

Xu Hao glanced around the room.

It leaks air and rain, the windows are covered with paper, and there are gaps in the corners.

There was no floor, just firm dirt, and not much furniture, just two crudely put-together beds and a table and chairs.

Xu Hao moved his eyes to the woman.

The police didn't dare to touch this man.

The other party was very repulsive to the police. Before they arrived, a few policemen wanted to calm them down, but they were beaten before they could do anything.

He thought for a moment and looked back at Zhao Hailong.

"Tell those in police uniforms to stay away from here. Also, try taking off your police uniform."

Zhao Hailong nodded, gave the order, and then took off his police uniform.

As expected.

This trick really worked. After the police uniform disappeared, the opponent's condition was visibly much better.

But there was still vigilance in his eyes.

"It's most likely Zhang Cuiping, but where is Zhang Hongliang? Where did Zhang Hongliang go?"

Zhao Hailong looked around and found that Zhang Hongliang was gone.

"Will he run away?"

Zhang Liang thought about it and the more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

"Hand Zhang Cuiping over to the police, and then run away? Tsk, that's a good idea!"

"Run? Run or what?"

A muffled voice sounded, Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Hailong, and Zhao Hailong shook his head, indicating that it was not his voice.

The voice was very rough, so it was certainly not Xu Huo's. In a trance, the three of them turned around at the same time.

A figure appeared at the door, dressed simply, holding a bag of apples and a can of yellow peaches.

He was probably about fifty years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with weathered features and cloudy eyes.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!

At this time, he was standing at the door, looking at Xu Hao and the other two in the house.

This person is Zhang Hongliang! He didn't run away! ?

He even came back on his own initiative! ? There were a few policemen behind him who had discovered him and were signaling with their eyes whether they wanted to arrest him.

Zhao Hailong paused, and after making sure there was no danger, he shook his head slightly and observed the situation before taking action.

A voice suddenly sounded.

"Are you Zhang Hongliang?"

Xu Hao spoke, looking up and down at the middle-aged man.

"It's me."

Zhang Hongliang nodded, not caring whether these people were police officers or not.

He walked into the drafty place, which looked like a beggar's home, and simply placed the fruit and canned food in his hand on the table.

The woman behind him suddenly became emotional and let out some meaningless howls.

Zhang Hongliang passed by Xu Hao and the other two, walked forward, squatted down, and whispered a few words to comfort the woman. Only then did the woman gradually calm down.

Xu Hao looked in amazement.

"Is this Zhang Cuiping?"

"Where did you find her?"

Zhang Hongliang casually said: "I saw it when I was picking up trash and rummaging through the trash cans. She was also rummaging through the trash cans. When I first saw it, I thought I was seeing things."

"Are you having trouble walking?" Xu Huo asked again.

"Although I have a lame leg, I can still walk. However, I have mental problems and cannot walk. If someone helps me, I can try to walk. If no one helps me, I can only crawl." Zhang Hongliang said.

"Is this your wife? Did you marry her?"

Xu Hao added.

"That's what I heard from the people in the mine."

Zhang Hongliang was speechless, "No."

“Tsk tsk.”

Xu Hao was amazed by this. He had solved so many cases, but this was the first time he had seen such a combination.

Zhao Hailong beside him always felt that something was wrong.

Isn't this arresting?

Why are they chatting like brothers?!

But before he could open his mouth, a sharp questioning voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Did you kill that person?" Xu Hao asked.

Everyone paused, then their eyes focused and looked at Zhang Hongliang.

Zhang Hongliang nodded without any hesitation or denial.

"It's me."

He admitted his guilt so readily!? Zhao Hailong was shocked.

"Why? Did Zhang Cuiping save your life?"

Xu Huo was even more puzzled.

The vast majority of the cases he solved were cases of ingratitude.

Or maybe it's due to deep hatred or even direct revenge.

But, he was the first one to kill in order to repay a favor.

Why are such people uncommon? There is a saying that goes:

A great favor is like a great hatred! If a favor is so great that it takes a person a lifetime to repay it, then for this person, there is no difference between the benefactor and his enemy.

Out of ten people, at least half of them would hope that the other party would die and all grudges would be wiped out.

As for the remaining half, few would kill for each other.

But Zhang Hongliang not only helped, he even killed several of them!

“No.”

Zhang Hongliang spoke.

Even though he has never saved a life, he can still help to this extent!? Zhao Hailong was shocked. He looked him up and down and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Because... a bowl of rice."

"A bowl of rice?"

Zhang Liang was surprised, with a strange look in his eyes, and he looked at Xu Hao.

They had jokingly guessed before that Zhang Cuiping might have bought people's hearts with the value of a bowl of rice, but who would have thought it was really just a bowl of rice!

"What kind of meal?" Xu Huo asked.

Zhang Hongliang seemed to be lost in memories. He thought for a long time and then said, "Delicacies from land and sea!"

He paused for a moment and subconsciously clicked on the system task.

[This plot's name: 'The case of mountain and sea delicacies'! ]

The delicacies from land and sea don't refer to the Chinese sausage. What do you mean by this? "Abalone and lobster?"

Zhao Hailong was surprised.

Zhang Hongliang smiled and shook his head, "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly."

"Who are you?" Zhang Liang asked.

"Beggar, well, when we first met, I was a beggar."

The three of them were even more surprised and suspicious.

Let’s not talk about whether Zhang Cuiping would give a beggar all kinds of delicacies.

It is still unknown whether Zhang Cuiping came to buy the raw materials for the delicacies. Therefore, this delicacies are not the same as those delicacies, and common sense cannot be used to guess.

Zhang Hongliang said again that he had forgotten. Forget it, it doesn’t matter.

"Why wasn't Du Jian killed?" Zhao Hailong asked.

The other party clearly came to kill Du Jian, but Du Jian is not dead now. "I don't want to kill him. It's better for him to be alive than dead."

Zhang Hongliang shook his head, not knowing the reason.

"Would you like to go by yourself, or should we help you go?"

Xu Hao glanced at Zhang Cuiping behind the other person.

A beggar, a benefactor, several corpses, and a large sum of money. Up to now, some junior policemen still find this case unbelievable.

It's time to end it.

It's time to close the case.

Logically speaking, I should have taken Zhang Hongliang as soon as I saw him for the first time.

However, Zhang Cuiping was present, and Xu Hao did not want to deepen the other party's misunderstanding of the police.

"Go on your own."

Zhang Hongliang smiled on his ordinary face, not afraid at all of how he would be treated after being imprisoned.

He comforted Zhang Cuiping behind him again, and then followed Xu Hao and the other two out of the house.

Zhang Hongliang raised his hands.

“No hurry.”

Xu Hao took out a cigarette, lit it and put it into the other person's mouth.

The four of them finished smoking, stomped out their cigarette butts, smacked their lips to savor the taste, and then Zhao Hailong took out a pair of handcuffs.

“Crack!”

A clear and crisp sound was heard, which made people feel cold and as if they were at the execution ground.

Zhang Hongliang was sandwiched between several policemen and walked slowly towards the police car.

Seeing the police car door open, the other party wanted to get in.

Xu Huo suddenly stopped talking and spoke quickly.

"By the way, Zhang Cuiping has a little son."

"Have you seen where this youngest son has gone?"

"And your method of committing the crime is a bit problematic. Why did you grind the person into bacon? And let the other person eat his own flesh!"

"There is a problem with Zhang Cuiping's madness. She was mad before she entered the black jail. It must be Qian Shu's doing, but money alone can't make someone crazy. What did he do?"

Zhang Hongliang, who was about to get on the bus, was stunned for a moment and looked back at Xu Hao. He looked for a moment and let out a breath.

"you guess."
