The door suddenly opened, and two middle-aged men came out. They were surprised when they saw two policemen in police uniforms sitting in the tea tasting room. They left in a hurry without even bothering to say hello to Dai Tonghe.
.
"Who are there?" Lu Yingwei asked, looking at the backs of the two figures leaving in a hurry.
"Oh, they are all old customers. The environment above is better. They are all small private rooms. The services are actually the same as below."
"Does Fang Meihua always come here to play cards in the private room upstairs?"
"Yes, member."
"Please open the door, we want to go up and take a look." Lu Yingwei looked at Dai Tonghe and said.
"Officer, please don't go up there. The guests are all drinking tea, so it's not good to disturb them." Dai Tonghe winked at the waiter next to him as he spoke. The waiter understood and left quickly.
"Please open the door and let us go up and have a look." Lu Yingwei said again.
"Comrade police, it's better not to go up there. If you have any questions, I will answer you truthfully."
"Is there something wrong with you? Why don't you let us see it?" Lu Yingwei stood up and walked to the door, looking at the access lock on the door.
"No, no, didn't I just say it? It's the same as below, it's just a private room." There were beads of sweat on Dai Tonghe's forehead.
"Is there any business going on in the private room that you don't want us to see?"
"No, it's just a place to drink tea and play cards."
"If we want to see it, even if we can't see it today, we can always find a way to see it. If problems are found by then, don't blame us for being rude."
"Yes, yes, it's not that I don't want you to see it, I'm really afraid of disturbing the guests."
The two were in a stalemate. The waiter who had just left came back. He nodded slightly to Dai Tonghe. Upon seeing this, Dai Tonghe quickly said to Lu Yingwei:
"Since you insist on going to see it, I will take you to see it."
Dai Tonghe took out a card from his pocket, swiped it on the access control device, and the private room door opened.
Following the carpeted stairs to the second floor, I saw a corridor in the middle of the second floor. There were separate rooms on both sides of the corridor. The doors of the rooms were closed and curtains were hung on the windows. From the corridor was
Can't see what's going on inside the room.
Lu Yingwei casually walked to the door of a room and motioned to Dai Tonghe to open it. The waiter went over and opened the door of the private room. There were four people sitting around playing mahjong in the private room. The person sitting opposite the door, He Xiaohui, had seen it before.
It is Ding Peng’s wife Fang Meihua.
"Boss Dai, is it wrong for you to do this?" He Xiaohui turned around and looked at Dai Tonghe who looked embarrassed and asked.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that some ladies are here today. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Dai Tonghe quickly tried to smooth things over for himself.
"Boss Dai's memory is really worrying. He can't even remember the guests who were here with you. You really need to improve your memory."
"Yes, yes, you see, my mind is confused."
"Since we happened to meet each other, let's ask the three ladies to cooperate with us and ask them a few questions." Lu Yingwei said.
"Hey, what do you mean? My husband was killed. Instead of catching the murderer, you came here to investigate me. What do you mean?" Fang Meihua, who was sitting inside, patted the mahjong table hard.
He stood up and shouted to He Xiaohui and the others.
"We are investigating Ding Peng's case, and coming here today is part of our work. Please cooperate with us," Lu Yingwei replied.
"I think you have no ability at all, and you will doubt this and that." Fang Meihua continued to be unyielding.
"We must investigate anything that goes against common sense. Mrs. Fang's husband has just been killed, so you are in the mood to play cards here. It's so elegant!" He Xiaohui's mouth was not a vegetarian.
"You! What do you mean, what's wrong with me playing cards?" Fang Meihua's face turned red with anger.
Upon seeing this, Dai Tonghe quickly walked to Fang Meihua, took her hand and whispered a few words to her, and then pulled her out of the room.
After He Xiaohui and Lu Yingwei obtained the testimonies of the three wives, they walked around the private rooms on the second floor and saw people playing cards in most of the rooms. They all showed a look of boredom at the arrival of the police.
There was illegal gambling in the private room, because they had delayed entry and had already done a good job of covering it up, so nothing could be seen from the surface. In order to detect Ding Peng's case as soon as possible, Lu Yingwei did not want to cause trouble at this time.
, so after a quick inspection, he returned to the team with He Xiaohui.
City Criminal Police Team conference room. Su Zhengyang and the team members were silent. It has been three days since the body was found. According to the analysis of the investigation over the past three days, there is still no progress in the investigation of the case of Ding Peng dumping the body. On the surface, it seems that there was murder.
There are many people who have Ding Peng's motives, or who want Ding Peng to die, but among them, those who actually have the means and time to commit the crime have not yet been found.
"We currently have another clue that Liu Qiao is missing," Su Zhengyang said.
"As far as we know, Liu Qiao can't drive. Although he might have killed Ding Peng, how did he dump the body?" Guan Jie said.
"Yes, the murderer took Ding Peng away from Huating Community, killed him and dumped his body. This case may not have been committed by one person."
"Guan Jie, is there any progress at Hongfang and Yongwang?" Su Zhengyang asked.
"On the surface, we can't see any vested interests between these two companies, and we can't find any clues that they were involved in the Ding Peng corpse dumping case. I think even if the case is related to these two companies, they will not do it themselves.
I suggest you inquire with idle people in society and ask them if they have heard of any rumors in society recently."
"Well, that's a good idea. Let's go inquire tonight and see if we can find any clues." Su Zhengyang said.
The gathering place for gangsters in Zhongjiang City is the Captain's Bar located at the urban-rural fringe. Su Zhengyang and Guan Jie are also regular customers here, but they never drink here. They come here to inquire about news. Some gangsters, big and small, in society, in order to commit crimes in the future
Su Zhengyang and others were always taking care of him, and he was very happy to provide them with some information.
Su Zhengyang and Guan Jie each took a bottle of mineral water and sat in a corner of the bar. They were waiting for useful people to show up. There were people on the dance floor in the middle of the hall, colorful rotating laser lights were shining on people, and the deafening music made people feel
My heart was racing, and the atmosphere in the bar became ambiguous and crazy.
A young man dressed in flashy clothes with blond hair saw Su Zhengyang sitting here and walked across the dance floor to get here.
"Hey, aren't these Captain Su and Officer Guan? Why do you have time to come here?"
"It turned out to be a mouse. When did you release it?"
"As you said, Captain Su, I haven't been in there for a long time. Now I have changed my ways and become a good person."
"As long as you change your ways, don't ask me to catch you again."
Mouse sat down next to Su Zhengyang and asked quietly:
"Captain Su, what is your mission here today? Are you here to arrest someone?"
"Haha, don't worry, I'm not arresting anyone today, I'm just asking for some information."
"Captain Su, what did you want to know? There is no one in Zhongjiang who is better informed than me, Mouse."
"Have you heard about Ding Peng?"
"I heard, what a pity for a coal boss with a net worth of tens of millions!" Mouse looked careless.
"What version did you hear?"
"It is said that he was strangled and his body was dumped in an abandoned pit."
"Are there any rumors about this?"
"There are many rumors. Some say it was a love affair, while others say it was a business matter."
"What do you mean by love killing?"
"It is said that his wife's lover, Boss Dai, who runs a casino, once asked people for information about the killer in the south."
"Oh, who did you listen to?"
"These things are all posted in wine bars. They are not necessarily true or false. If I really asked who told them, I really don't know."
"What else can you say?"
"As soon as this incident came out, everyone was talking about it, saying that this work may not be done by our locals."
"Oh why?"
"If we locals have any grudges, they usually use knives to resolve their grudges. Ding Peng's case is clearly aimed at killing people, and there must be significant interests behind it."
"Well, you are right."
"Many people speculate that Ding Peng is most likely a hired killer from out of town."
"Does anyone say why Ding Peng was killed?"
"Ding Peng is the coal boss, it must be because of the coal issue."
"Well, apart from these, has anything strange happened recently?"
"Other things?" Mouse scratched his messy hair and said after thinking:
"Oh, by the way, I heard that a burned-out van was found on the mountain."
"When did this happen?"
"In the past few days, they said it was completely burned down and only the iron frame was left."
"Have anyone from out of town come to Zhongjiang recently?"
"I haven't heard of it so far. I can ask more."
"Okay, if you have any news, you can call me directly."
"Okay, Captain Su, don't worry."
In a sheltered place on the mountainside, a burned van with only its iron frame standing quietly stood there. From the structure of the frame, it could be seen that this was a seven-seater van.
"It is currently impossible to tell whether this car is the one that picked up Ding Peng. The chassis number has also been burned. We can't even find the owner of the vehicle." Su Zhengyang said regretfully.
"Yes, it seems that the murderer of Ding Peng this time is indeed unusual. Maybe he hired a murderer as rumored." Guan Jie replied.
Just when Su Zhengyang and Guan Jie were checking the burned vehicle, Su Zhengyang's cell phone rang, and Gu Yan's voice came from the phone:
"Team Su, a body was found in a woods in the east of the city."
"How did you find out?"
"It was said that it was discovered by a few outdoor enthusiasts. The 110 alarm center just called. The specific situation is not clear yet."
"Okay, take your family and technicians and rush to the scene immediately. We will meet at the scene."
