Chapter 1566 He has a Chinese character pager
Because when Li Ye called Uncle Hat to report the case, he clearly stated that "the victim's fate is unknown," so Uncle Hat arrived very quickly, and there were many people with him, which clearly showed that he took it very seriously.
After they arrived, two of them went to verify the identity of the injured person, while the other two went to Li Ye and the others to ask questions.
Li Ye and the others first presented their work identification, then recounted what had happened, and provided the address and phone number of the restaurant where they ate, to corroborate their movements that day.
Even so, Uncle Hat asked a lot of questions over and over again and made very detailed notes, which made Zheng Qiang very unhappy. After all, they were "heroes" who had saved people in a heroic act, but why did the other party treat them like criminals?
However, Li Ye knew that Uncle Hat was doing this to solve the case, so he dared not miss any clues and cooperated patiently.
When the questioning reached its end, a young man in a hat asked somewhat eagerly, "Comrades, can you still remember what those thugs looked like? For example, what were their height and weight characteristics?"
Zheng Qiang was already fed up with the questions, and immediately said angrily, "With so many people in the dark, how are we supposed to remember what they look like? You tell me, how did the streets become like this in just a few years? What are you people doing?"
"I've remembered one."
Li Ye interrupted Zheng Qiang's complaints, carefully saying, "I've memorized one of their faces; they should be one of the main culprits. But I can't draw. If you have a forensic artist, I can assist you."
The young man in the hat immediately beamed with joy, but another colleague asked warily, "How can you be sure he's the ringleader?"
Because I have incredibly sharp observation skills!
Li Ye calmly stated, "At that moment, our headlights turned around and happened to illuminate that person's face."
While Comrade Su was fighting with the other party, the ringleader didn't lift a finger. Instead, he stood outside leisurely smoking. After seeing us drive up, he was the one who signaled the thugs to surround us. He also had a pager with a Chinese character display clipped to his waist.
Although mobile phones were available in mainland China in 1993, their high price and call charges made them a true "luxury item."
Therefore, pagers became the mainstream target for ordinary people at this time, and among them, the Chinese character pager was a "light luxury" product, with a price of four or five thousand yuan, which was not cheap.
If you watch the "Young and Dangerous" movies, you'll know that most of the street thugs don't actually have much money. It's normal for them to live hand to mouth. So, if someone can wear "Big Han Show" on their waist, they must be either Brother Hao Nan or Chicken. They're definitely not nobody.
So when Li Ye mentioned the Hanxian pager, every young man in a hat was more excited than when Li Ye said he "remembered the other person's appearance".
Even the older man in the hat immediately asked, "Comrade Li, are you sure it's a pager with Chinese characters? Are you sure you saw it clearly?"
Li Ye nodded slightly and said, "I'm sure, and it's the second-generation Chinese character display that Fengyu Electronics just released this year."
Are you sure?
"I'm sure."
Upon seeing the identity Li Ye had identified, the two men in hats beamed with joy: "Okay, okay, please leave us your contact address and information! We know everyone hates trouble, but if we can catch the murderer sooner, we can prevent more victims from being victimized."
Li Ye readily agreed, saying, "We're staying at the Chuncheng Hotel. I'll leave you a mobile phone number. I'll cooperate once the portrait artist is ready, but you need to hurry. We have very important work starting the day after tomorrow, and we can't afford to be delayed."
"Understood, understood. We'll try our best to have your portrait drawn tomorrow."
Li Ye understood that the portrait artist wasn't someone the two of them could call at any time, so they could only try their best to get one.
But just then, a man in a hat who was in charge of checking the situation came over and whispered a few words to him.
But Li Ye's hearing was equally sharp, and he heard that residents at the crime scene claimed to have heard a "bang" of gunfire.
Li Ye frowned, knowing that trouble was brewing again.
Although the "Gun Control Law" was officially implemented in mainland China in 1996, which stipulates that citizens are not allowed to illegally possess firearms and ammunition and will be held criminally liable otherwise, even if you can legally possess them, you are still a key target of supervision.
Sure enough, the other party then inquired about the shotgun used by Li Ye and the others.
“We have our identification.”
Jiang Shiqi pulled out the relevant documents he had prepared beforehand, while Zheng Qiang, a local resident, angrily shouted, "Those two victims screamed for help for ages, and everyone pretended not to hear them, but they heard us setting off firecrackers?"
"Don't worry, brother, we can just register; it's just a formality."
Hearing Zheng Qiang's unfriendly words, the oldest man in the hat did not react, but simply kept his head down and took detailed notes.
Li Ye couldn't help but sigh. Although he knew the other party had no choice, this annoying trouble would gradually erode everyone's sense of justice.
By the time Li Ye and the others finished their work, it was already past midnight. At this time, the Jingnan Group hurriedly arrived, but it wasn't Geng Yunping who came; instead, it was the technicians from the First Branch Factory.
These technicians arrived in Kunming from Beijing well in advance for this comparative test.
Upon seeing Li Ye, Wu Yan and the others anxiously asked, "Director Li, are you alright? I heard from Assistant Geng that this is a serious matter."
Li Ye asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't I inform Geng Yunping?"
Wu Yan said sarcastically, "Don't even mention Geng Yunping. We received a call from Assistant Geng half an hour ago, telling us to come pick you up right away. When we asked what happened, he stammered and gave a vague explanation."
We started yelling at them right then and there. You're afraid of the streets and don't dare come, so why are you dawdling and wasting time? It's been hours already. Don't count on them for anything in the future; they're all outsiders.”
"."
Li Ye couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "I didn't think this through. We're not related, so it's normal for them to be timid."
But this time Li Ye really misunderstood Geng Yunping. Right now, he wasn't hiding in the hotel, but was looking for Shang Bin and Zhuo Minglan on the street!
After receiving Li Ye's call, he tried calling Shang Bin's mobile phone, but couldn't get through. He also tried calling the landline at his residence, but no one answered. Geng Yunping started to feel uneasy.
He knew that Shang Bin wanted to have a romantic night out with Zhuo Minglan, and that Shang Bin hadn't brought a driver or any attendants to keep it a secret.
What if they encounter something like what Li Ye encountered?
May the Bodhisattva protect me and keep me from bad luck!
Geng Yunping searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone, so he could only wait at the residence, praying to the gods and Buddhas that nothing bad would happen.
As a result, Shang Bin returned in the middle of the night with a bruised and swollen face.
Geng Yunping was startled and asked in a trembling voice, "Secretary Shang, what's wrong with you?"
Shang Bin said irritably, "I took a taxi, and the driver took a longer route. I got into a fight with him and ended up walking back."
It turned out that Shang Bin had taken Zhuo Minglan back to the hotel, but on the way back, the driver took a detour, and the two men got into an argument. Shang Bin then gave the other man a "severe" beating.
Geng Yunping immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, it was just a detour."
Shang Bin immediately became displeased: "What do you mean by this?"
Geng Yunping quickly recounted what Li Ye had encountered, saying that compared to those vicious thugs, Li Ye had only encountered a taxi taking a detour, and was already incredibly lucky.
Shang Bin was furious: "This is outrageous! Li Ye is always meddling in other people's business, neglecting his own duties and doing things he shouldn't be doing."
"."
Geng Yunping knew what Shang Bin meant by "serious business," but he wasn't in the mood for flattery at the moment. He simply reminded Shang Bin that "the nights in Kunming are not like those in Beijing," so he and Zhuo Minglan should avoid going out at night in the future.
But Shang Bin casually said, "It's okay, just drive over tomorrow!"
Geng Yunping immediately cursed in his heart.
【Holy crap, aren't you scared at all after I've put it this far? And you two go on a romantic date, while I have to wait on you in the car?】
