After a while, the crying in the room gradually became quieter. Su Le and the others were about to enter the house when they saw Lao Jin walking out of the house holding on to the door frame. He walked up to Su Le and said:
"Comrade police, do you have anything else to say?"
"Yes, we have some questions that we would like to know, so that we can help solve the case of Jin Hui's poisoning as soon as possible."
"Okay, you can ask." Lao Jin looked around him, took out a few small stools from the house, and they sat down under the tree in the yard.
"When was the last time you saw Jin Hui?" Su Le asked.
"Well, the morning of the accident. Usually when my mother and I go out to work, they haven't gotten up yet. That day Jin Hui got up much earlier than usual. When we went out, he even said to us, parents, please be careful when riding.
, there are a lot of cars on the road." Lao Jin said with tears in his eyes.
"I told my mother at that time, what happened to Xiaohui? The sun must have come out from the west."
"That night, people in the village called me and said that Xiaohui had been in a car accident and had been arrested by the police. If I tried to call Xiaohui again, I couldn't get through."
"Besides what you just said, is there anything else abnormal about Jin Hui?"
"Others? The other thing is that he had dinner at home the day before. He didn't go out again after dinner. He hasn't eaten at home for a long time. As long as he doesn't get out of the car, he spends the whole day in the casino and rarely goes home."
"What do you say you know when you eat?"
"I saw that he was very happy that day. We drank some wine and talked about some things from our childhood."
"Okay, I have another question, where did you go yesterday?" Su Le asked.
"Yesterday, well, we didn't go out yesterday, we went out the night before." Lao Jin sighed and shook his head.
"Did the whole family go out together?"
"Well, I think we might have been deceived."
"What's going on? Tell the police carefully. Maybe they can help you." Village Chief Li said at the side.
Lao Jin, with his hands trembling and tears still on his face, told Su Le about their experiences.
It was the afternoon of the day before yesterday. I was working on the construction site when I suddenly received a call. The caller claimed to be a friend of Jin Hui. He said he had something important to discuss with me and asked me where I was working. They
They drove to find me. I told them the address of the construction site, and they arrived at the construction site not long after.
Two people drove a van, one was a fat man with a bald head, and the other was a thin man with long hair. They called me aside, and the thin man handed me a cigarette, and the fat man lit it for me with a lighter.
.Then the thin man said to me:
"Uncle Jin, we are friends of Jin Hui, and we all work for the same boss."
"Oh, I've never seen you." I said, taking a puff of cigarette.
"Didn't something happen to Jin Hui? He drove a police car down the valley and killed a policeman. Do you know that?" said the thin man.
"I know. Alas, why is this guy Jin Hui driving so carelessly?"
"If it had hit an ordinary vehicle, it wouldn't be a big deal. The insurance company would just pay some money. But because it was a police car, it would be more troublesome. Don't you think Jin Hui has been arrested?"
"Yeah, I know, the police said they want to investigate."
"For this matter, our boss found many people and wanted to fish them out first. The boss said that we are not afraid of paying compensation, but locking people up is not good."
"Yes, it would be great if we could release the people first."
"That's right, our boss thought the same way, so we found someone to clear things up, and now we have some clues."
"Oh, that's for the boss to worry about."
"We came to you this time to ask your whole family to cooperate, take some videos to show to the people above, and then take you to see the leaders to get them to agree to release you."
"Oh, that's great, let's cooperate."
"Okay, let's go to your house now. You call all the family members outside. We can only record when everyone is here." The thin man said.
After hearing what they said, I felt very happy, thinking that Xiaohui could be saved. I quickly called his mother and his brother and told them to go home and wait.
After I got home, I asked the skinny guy if he wanted to change into new clothes. We shouldn't dress too slovenly during the video, otherwise it would be embarrassing for the boss to see us. The skinny guy said no, the worse the clothes, the better, so that the boss could sympathize with us.
The fat man took pictures at our house for a while with his mobile phone, including our whole family. After taking pictures, the thin man said to me:
"Uncle Jin, let's all get in the car. I'll take you to see the leader."
"Are you all going? You see it's not convenient to bring a child."
"Let's all go, let's all go. The boss specially told us that the whole family should go together. Only in this way can we be more convincing when meeting the leader."
Seeing that they insisted that our whole family go together, we locked the courtyard door and got into the car with them. The car drove for a long time, and we didn’t know where we were going. When it was getting dark, the car finally stopped. Then
Two people led us into a restaurant and ordered a lot of dishes for us to eat. While we were eating, the thin man took out his mobile phone and took pictures.
After eating, the thin man said to us:
"Uncle Jin, the leader has something to do tonight and won't be able to see us until tomorrow morning. Let's arrange a place to stay for one night today and go to see the leader tomorrow morning."
"Then why don't we go home today and come back early tomorrow morning?" I asked the thin man.
"It's too much trouble to go back and forth. There is a hotel nearby. I will take you to stay."
When we arrived at the hotel, the waiter asked us for our ID cards. We had never gone out, so how could we bring our ID cards? Then they said that we could keep our mobile phones, so we all gave them our mobile phones. His brother and the boss were not happy at the time, but later they
Even the bluffer took his cell phone away.
The four of us lived in two rooms. Jin Hui’s mother and his wife and their children shared a room, and Jin Hui’s brother and I shared a room. Nothing happened at night. The hotel environment was much better than my home, and we slept well.
Relatively comfortable.
The next day I woke up relatively early, opened the door and wanted to go outside for a walk, but then I thought about it and thought that if the fat man came to call them later, it would be bad if it delayed things, so I kept sitting in the room and waiting.
When the sun was high in the sky and my youngest son was still sleeping, my daughter-in-law came over from the next room and asked me:
"Dad, did they say when they would call us?"
"No, I don't know when they will come."
"The kids are hungry, why don't we get some food first."
"Okay, I'll go out and buy some food. You guys wait here." I went out and bought some food and brought it back. I gave it to my mothers first, and then I called my youngest son up to eat.
After my youngest son got up, he also asked me when they would come. I said I didn’t know, and he said:
"You don't know how to call and ask?"
"But the phone was taken away by the hotel."
"I'm going to ask for it, there's no one who can take someone else's cell phone." After my son said that, he went downstairs to ask for the cell phone, and I didn't stop him.
Not long after, the younger son came up with our mobile phone. I used my mobile phone to call the fat man, but I couldn't get through. The younger son said to me impatiently:
"Did we meet a liar?"
"No way, they didn't ask for our money and they even treated us to a meal. Why did they lie to us?"
At noon, Fatty's phone still couldn't be reached. They were tired of staying outside and clamored to go home. I thought about it and called Fatty a few more times, but still couldn't get through, so we
Decided to go home first.
I came to the lobby of the hotel. At this time, there was a different waiter, not the one who received us yesterday. I walked to the counter and asked her:
"His eldest sister, where is this place?"
"It's Fuju Hotel." The waiter stared at me and said.
"I wanted to ask what the name of the place here is?"
"No. 30 Jianshe Road." The waiter rolled his eyes at me and replied.
"No, what is the county called here?"
The waiter looked us up and down for a while and then said to me:
"This is Xiangwen County, don't you know?"
I was surprised when I heard the waiter say Xiangwen County. I knew that Xiangwen County is to the west of Hexi City, and our Liang County is to the east of Hexi City. It is about 200 kilometers to go home from here.
We bought a few sesame candy cakes on the street and ate them while asking for directions to the bus station. We got on the bus at the bus station and didn’t get home until after ten o’clock in the evening. We were exhausted after a day of hard work.
I planned to rest at home for a day and go to work tomorrow, but I didn't expect Jin Hui to be dead.
When Lao Jin said this, he covered his face with his hands and started crying again.
"You just said that the van that took you to Xiangwen County was a van. Do you still remember the color and license plate number of the van?" Su Le asked.
Lao Jin stopped crying, raised his head and thought for a while and said:
"The car was white and I didn't pay attention to the license plate number at the time."
"Do you know the name of Jin Hui's boss?"
"I don't know, he never tells me this."
After talking to Lao Jin, they called Jin Hui's daughter-in-law outside and asked Jin Hui's daughter-in-law several questions.
"When Jin Hui left that morning, was there anything different from usual?"
Jin Hui's wife wiped away the tears on her face, thought for a while and said:
"Yes. When Jin Hui left that day, he kissed his son and sat beside the bed for a long time. I thought at the time that he was suffering from some illness. He usually didn't even look at his son. Why did he suddenly become so bad today?
so."
"Besides these, are there any other places?"
"Others, there are..." Jin Hui's daughter-in-law swallowed her words again, then shook her head and said:
"No la."
"Jin Hui was gambling outside. Did he owe any gambling debts?"
"I have no idea."
"Has Jin Hui given money to your family recently?"
"Ah, no, no, he never gives any money to his family, and sometimes he comes home to ask for money." Jin Hui's wife said with evasive eyes.
"Have you seen the fat man and the thin man who came to pick you up that day before?"
"No." Jin Hui's wife shook her head and replied.
"Does Jin Hui have any good friends?"
"In the past, he had a good relationship with Xiaoyun and Brother Jin from our village. Later, after he started gambling, they rarely interacted with each other."
"Do you know where Jin Hui often goes to gamble?"
"I don't know. I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me."
"How many years have you been married?"
"Four years."
"Where did he start gambling?"
"Two years ago."
"How old is the child?"
"Almost three years old." Jin Hui's wife hugged the child tighter in her arms and pressed her face against the child's face, as if she was afraid of losing the child again.
