Seven days after the arrest warrant for Xu Wenliang was issued, Hu Jianzhong, head of the Gui'an City Criminal Police Detachment, received a notification from the Haizhou City Police Department in Shannan Province. After receiving reports from the masses, traces of Xu Wenliang were found in Haizhou City. Su Le and Zhang Pengfei stayed up all night to do this.
Fly to Haizhou City and prepare to capture Xu Wenliang in one fell swoop.
Haizhou City is the capital city of Shannan Province and an economic and cultural center city in the southern coastal region. Haizhou City has eleven administrative districts and a permanent population of nearly 20 million. Finding people in such a city is undoubtedly more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
The person who provided information about Xu Wenliang to the police was the owner of Qinmin Supermarket in Liwan Village, Quanshi District, Haizhou City. Su Le and Zhang Pengfei, led by Liang Fu, a beautiful police officer from the Haizhou Criminal Police Detachment, found Boss Li of Qinmin Supermarket.
Qinmin Supermarket is located in the middle of the Liwan Village building complex. The geographical location is very good. Six alleys extend from the Qinmin Supermarket, leading to the complex and obscured buildings in the village. The small store in the Liwan Village building complex
You can't see the sky while walking in the alley. The widest part of the alley is no more than two meters. Buildings of 6-8 floors are built side by side. At the narrowest place, people in the two buildings can open their windows and walk.
can touch each other's hands.
The scene inside Qinmin Supermarket can be said to be more crowded than outside. The shelves that are as tall as one person are filled with food and daily necessities. The aisle in the middle of the shelf can only accommodate one person. If two people are walking across from each other, then
You need to turn sideways to pass. The only thing that makes Su Le satisfied with the store is the number of cameras installed. There are actually 16 cameras in the small supermarket. There is a display screen hanging above the cashier. All 16 images are displayed in real time.
shown above.
"Boss Li, these two colleagues are from Jiangnan Province. They want to ask you to find out about the wanted criminals you discovered." Beauty Liang Fu made the introduction first.
"Boss Li, please tell us what happened." Su Le said.
"Every time a new wanted order comes out, I put the photos inside my cashier. These photos cannot be seen outside." Boss Li pointed to the bottom of his cashier.
Su Le walked to the back of the cashier and saw many photos of wanted criminals placed there. So he said:
"Boss Li must have discovered many wanted criminals, right?"
"There are not many, only five including this time. There are many and mixed people living here. Finding them all and taking them away will also be good for the security of our place." Boss Li said proudly.
"How many times has this person named Xu Wenliang been here?" Su Le asked.
"After I found him yesterday, I checked the previous videos and found that he came to my store to buy things twice, and each time he bought a lot of food."
"What does his accent sound like to you?"
"They are all from the north anyway. Their Mandarin is not standard, so I can't tell where they are from."
"When did he come yesterday?"
"When I came yesterday around 1:30 pm, there were very few people in the store at that time, so I took a second look at him and found that he looked very similar to the photo of a wanted criminal that had just been posted, so I started to pay attention to him. He
I bought a lot of things, enough to last for three to five days. After he left, I checked his appearance against the surveillance video and then made the call."
"Which way did he go out?"
"Towards the southeast, the houses on the third group side."
After Su Le and the others copied the video from Boss Li's surveillance system, they walked along the narrow alley toward the southeast. Because it was past the rush hour of commuting, there were few people in the alley, and there were only a few old men and old ladies sitting at the door.
While chatting, Su Le noticed that there was no surveillance system installed in the winding alley. There were a few cameras facing the door of his house. It seemed that the owner had installed them himself.
"Liang Fu, why aren't there cameras installed in these alleys?" Su Le asked.
"This place is a village in the city. These buildings were built by the villagers themselves. Not to mention a monitoring system, there is not even the most basic fire exit. A few days ago, a fire broke out in another urban village, causing many houses to be damaged.
And, dozens of people were injured in the tragedy.”
"Then why aren't these urban villages demolished?" Zhang Pengfei asked.
"Oh, this problem cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. If it can be demolished and is easy to demolish, can the government not demolish it? There are too many money issues, relationship issues, family issues, etc. that I can't figure out.
Liang Fu said, shaking her head.
"Yes, how can demolition be so easy? If Xujia Village had not been demolished, would we be able to come here?" Su Le said.
"Don't think that these urban villages are a problem. In fact, these urban villages provide food, clothing, housing and transportation for the most basic people who come to Haizhou to work. Without these urban villages, they can't afford to live in high-rise buildings." Liang Fu said.
"Then what are we going to do next?" Zhang Pengfei asked.
"Give me the photo." Liang Fu reached out to take the photo and asked one after another in the alley. Since Su Le and Zhang Pengfei couldn't understand the dialect they spoke, they could only follow behind and watch their expressions as they communicated, guessing.
The content of the conversation.
When Liang Fu showed the photo to an old woman sitting at the door of the room, the old woman pointed to the house in front of her. Liang Fu immediately turned around and said to Su Le and the others:
"The old lady said she had seen this man before, and said she seemed to have seen him enter the building in front of her."
"Oh, that's great, let's go and have a look."
This is a 6-story building. The area on the first floor is small. From the second floor onwards, the house suddenly becomes much larger. From the ground, the alley looks quite wide, but above the second floor, there is a small gap between it and other buildings.
There is only half a meter of separation.
"How can this building be built like this? Don't you think it's top-heavy?" Zhang Pengfei said.
"This is called Piaolou, there's nothing strange about it." Liang Fu replied.
The door of the building was open, and an old man was sitting inside the door and taking a nap. Liang Fu walked up to wake up the old man, took out the photo and showed it to the old man. The old man looked at it for a long time and then shook his head. At this time, the first floor
The door of a room opened, and a woman walked out, carrying a several-month-old child on her back.
"Who are you looking for?" the woman asked in less than standard Mandarin.
"We are looking for a man around fifty years old." Liang Fu replied.
"Let me show you, he is deaf and can't hear what you say at all." The woman pointed at the old grandfather just now and said.
Liang Fu looked at the woman in the photo. The woman held the child behind her on her shoulders and took the photo and looked at it carefully.
"I think I saw the back of this man once. He lives on the top floor and rarely comes down. One time when he went upstairs, I happened to go out and saw him carrying things upstairs." The woman pointed to the stairs and said.
"Are you sure he's on the top floor?"
"I'm sure, I've lived here for a long time. I know all the tenants. He moved here after Xiao Chen on the top floor moved out half a month ago. It's unmistakable." The woman said confidently.
"How many families live on the top floor?" Su Le asked.
"Two households, he lives in the one on the right side of the stairs." The woman answered with gestures with her hands.
"Okay, thank you." After Su Le said this, he exchanged glances with Zhang Pengfei and Liang Fu, and took the lead in climbing up the stairs.
The three of them quietly went up to the top floor. As expected, there was a door on both sides of the stairs. Su Le and the others took out the pistols from their waists and took them in their hands. The three of them formed a fan shape to surround the door on the right. Liang Fu and Su Le
After exchanging glances with Zhang Pengfei, she walked to the door and knocked gently. There was no response from the room, and Liang Fu said in dialect:
"Brother, your room is leaking."
There was still no answer in the room. Liang Fu asked twice more, then exchanged glances with Su Le and made a move to rush in. Just as Su Le was about to walk to the door and kick it in, Liang Fu took a step back and raised her foot.
Kick the door.
The door opened in response, and the three people rushed into the room and found that there was no one in the room except for beverage bottles and convenience food packaging bags.
"Okay, Officer Liang, you are a hero among women, I didn't notice." Su Le extended his thumb to praise Liang Fu.
Liang Fu smiled noncommittally and said:
"This kind of door is trivial."
"It looks like he ran away. All his clothes and daily necessities were taken away, and all that's left is just garbage." Zhang Pengfei said frustrated.
"Did he hear something?" Liang Fu asked.
"Maybe the supermarket owner looked at him a few more times yesterday and made him feel the danger," Su Le said.
"It may be that when it's time to change places, people like them won't live in one place for a long time," Zhang Pengfei said.
"Then what should we do next?" Liang Fu asked.
"You need to contact the landlord first and ask for his contact information. Renting a house requires at least an ID card or a mobile phone number. Let's search the room carefully to see if we can find some useful clues," Su Le said.
Liang Fu went downstairs to contact the landlord, while Su Le and Zhang Pengfei searched around the room.
"Do I still need to collect fingerprints?" Zhang Pengfei asked.
"Take a drink bottle and go back. The eldest sister downstairs only saw Xu Wenliang's back. It would be safer to go back and do a fingerprint comparison."
The room was in a mess, full of garbage, and there was almost nothing except food packaging. Su Le picked up the quilt spread out on the bed and found a newspaper under the quilt. Su Le picked it up and took a look. It turned out to be
Haizhou Daily three days ago.
"Look, there is a newspaper here." Su Le said to Zhang Pengfei.
"Hey, do people still read newspapers these days?" Zhang Pengfei said in confusion.
"This is an advertising page for Haizhou. It contains notices of loss reports, missing persons notices, rental and job recruitment information," Su Le said.
"Did he look for a house from the advertisement in this newspaper?" Zhang Pengfei said.
"Yes, that's possible." Su Le laid the newspaper on the table, turned on the flashlight on his phone, and searched for the part of the page where rental ads were posted.
"Look, Brother Fei, there are a lot of fingerprints here. There are traces of fingers pressing on the rental information." Su Le said.
"It seems that our guess was good. He was indeed reading the rental information in the newspaper." Zhang Pengfei said excitedly.
"Brother Fei is amazing, he can see through the fugitive's mind at a glance."
"Go, go, go, I'm blind. How can we check? There are so many houses, should we check them one by one?"
"If there is no other way, then we can only check them one by one."
"I hope he hasn't moved before we finish the investigation."
At this time, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and Liang Fu ran up three steps at a time, apparently finding important information.
