"Wait a moment, I'm going to make a call." The old man said and walked into the guard room.

The old man went in for a while, then trotted out and opened the door. He changed his face and said with a smile:

"Sorry, sorry, our boss invites you in. The boss is in the small building inside."

The car drove downstairs, and a middle-aged man was already waiting for them downstairs. When he saw Guan Jie and the others coming down, he quickly stepped forward to say hello:

"Oh, I'm so sorry, comrade police, for keeping you waiting for so long. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, let's find out more about the situation." Guan Jie waved his hand and said.

"Welcome, how about we sit down upstairs and talk?"

"No, let's talk here. Are you the boss here?"

"Yes, that's right. My name is Sun Hongfang."

"Is there a man named Liu Qiao in your mine?" Guan Jie asked.

"Liu Qiao? Oops, I really don't know much about it. Why don't you go sit down in the office and I'll ask them to check it out."

Guan Jie and the others had no choice but to follow Sun Hongfang to the office and sit down. Sun Hongfang called the people below to quickly understand the situation. After about ten minutes, a man covered in soot was called to the office. He came with him

One person said to Sun Hongfang:

"Boss, there is a man named Liu Qiao who works in their team."

"You, tell the police about Liu Qiao." Sun Hongfang ordered.

"Liu Qiao and I are from the same village. He used to work in the Dapeng Mine next door. Three months ago, he had a conflict with the boss there and was beaten and kicked out. He asked me to find him and called me

Introduce him a job and I will introduce him here."

"Where is Liu Qiao now?" Guan Jie asked.

"Liu Qiao hasn't come to work for three days. I was thinking of going to his home today."

"Oh, you haven't been here for three days?"

"Yes, I haven't been here since the day before yesterday."

"Did he say anything about asking for leave?"

"No, normally he would tell me if he didn't come to work if something happened at home."

"Do you know why he had a conflict with Ding Peng?"

"I heard him say that Ding Peng deducted more money from him because he failed to complete the production task. He said that it was not his fault for not completing the task, and that Ding Peng deliberately made things difficult for him."

"Was he badly beaten?"

"Anyway, the nose is bruised and the face is swollen, but they are just flesh wounds, not too serious."

"Have you heard anything else Liu Qiao said?"

"No."

"Which village are you from?"

"It's the village on the other side of the mountain, called Shanqian Village."

The boss of Hongfang Mining sent Guan Jie and the others downstairs, leaned next to Guan Jie and asked quietly:

"Are you investigating the murder of Ding Peng?"

"Did you hear that Ding Peng was killed?" Guan Jie asked.

"I heard about it. Early this morning, the news spread throughout the entire mining area, saying that Ding Peng's body was found in an abandoned pit."

"The news spreads pretty fast."

"No, this kind of thing spreads very quickly."

"Did you hear any rumors?"

"Oh, it's all there."

"What are the rumors?"

"People say that it might have been his wife's lover who did it. His wife's lover is a celebrity in our area and has many acquaintances in the world."

"What's that man's name?"

"That person is the famous Brother He, Dai Tonghe."

"Oh, what other rumors are there?"

"I haven't heard of the others, but I think it's possible that Liu Qiao is the one you're looking for."

"Okay! Don't talk nonsense, we are just conducting a routine investigation."
