"...Zhang Shanhai gave up everything in the car before he arrived at the police station. The fire on the old street was definitely not his fault. He just discovered the fire earlier than others, and then followed the trend and used his crooked brain. Oh,
What he said was to help rescue property..."
"...The things are in the warehouse of his Xinyin Piano Store. I asked my colleagues here to confirm that your piano is in good condition. The two store employees who helped move the piano at the time have also been controlled...
…”
"The general situation is like this. Now the guy surnamed Zhang has been clamoring for mediation. You guys should think about it and come up with an idea. Haha, my suggestion is not to deal with it in a hurry, let that guy dry first, and then talk about it... Sister Wei also knows
Alright? Okay, I’ll discuss this with her..."
In the early morning, at midnight, Tang Chao had just stepped into his house when he received a call from Zhong Wanqing.
The results of the investigation were as expected. In fact, after observing the fire scene on the spot, Tang Chao already knew it.
It's not that he looks down on Zhang Shanhai, maybe the other party has some scheming intentions and usually likes to exploit legal loopholes. But there is no doubt that he is far behind the real criminals. To put it bluntly, he is an ordinary person who is accustomed to speculation and has limited courage. At most, he takes advantage of the situation and robs him.
Arson and looting are still not dared.
I hung up the phone, put on my slippers, and walked straight into the study. I turned on my computer and plugged in the USB flash drive with the memory card installed. I took advantage of the boot time to read and went out to make a cup of tea.
When Tang Chao sat back at the desk again, the surveillance video had automatically started playing. He turned it off and found tonight's surveillance video. He directly dragged the progress bar to around nine-thirty. It was when the fire was at its peak, and there was a dense atmosphere under the probe.
Sea of fireworks.
Reverse at double speed.
About five minutes later, I hit the space bar, and in the freeze frame, I saw a trolley parked outside the back door of the piano store, and two figures trying to carry the piano out. There was also a person next to me holding the iron door open with one hand, and holding the other hand in the air, as if they were carrying out a process.
If not Zhang Shanhai, who is the conductor?
It is worth mentioning that the fire had already spread at this time, and the fire snake closest to the three of them was only a few steps away... I really underestimated it, and didn't realize that it was a master who was willing to give up his life rather than his wealth!
Pouting his lips, Tang Chao moved the progress bar forward at will. Immediately, the palm of his hand that was about to drag the mouse again couldn't help but pause. He subconsciously glanced at the time in the upper right corner, which was nine:03.
There are no signs of fire in the video footage at this moment. In the secluded alleyway, there are only two tall men walking side by side with their backs to the surveillance camera. One is fat and the other is thin. Both are wearing caps and maintenance suits. The slimmer one is the one.
The man is carrying a black tool bag in his hand.
His upper body unconsciously leaned forward, and Tang Chao's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly. It was not that he thought of the firefighter he called Xiao Jiang before, who said that the cause of the fire tonight was most likely caused by electricity, but it was purely because of these two people.
His pace, body shape, and even the aura he displayed were so calm. He really didn't look like an ordinary electrician.
Facts have proved that the Tang Dynasty had a good vision.
In the picture, the two people walked slowly and slowly to the telephone pole near the alley. The fat man walked into the corner of the wall and blended into the shadow. The thin man opened his handbag, took out the tools and climbed up the telephone pole quickly.
One person looks out for the wind, and the other operates. In just two or three minutes, the work is done and we return along the original route.
When he approached the street light with the probe, Tang Chao hit the space bar a few times, but because of the two peaked caps, he couldn't see each other's face clearly. When the two of them walked out of the surveillance range, there was already electricity on the top of the telephone pole at the alley behind.
The flowers twinkle faintly.
The case was solved... someone actually set the fire on purpose!
But why?
Tang Chao frowned slightly, but then he dispersed his doubts. There was too little information, so it was difficult to draw a definite conclusion, and it was useless to think too much. He closed his eyes silently, and the traffic distribution map around the piano store quickly appeared in his mind, especially the traffic at the end of the alley.
Several ways to the main road outside...
But then, this plan was instantly rejected.
There is no other reason, but it is because of the old city. The residential areas on one side of the lane are basically renovated old houses and resettlement houses. They are connected in series with each other and lack basic overall management. Various lanes and paths extend in all directions. I want to find effective information from them.
, the workload is indeed too great and cannot be achieved overnight.
If we had to change our thinking, just from the fact that the two of them came in from a back alley that was inaccessible and lacked surveillance, and then exited from the original road at the end of the alley, we could judge that the other party's trip was not a temporary move, but that they had done some homework.
On this basis, assuming that the other party has transportation, where will the car be parked?
The traffic distribution map disappeared and was replaced by a topographic map of the vicinity of the piano store. Then, based on the existing information, buildings and streets were eliminated through elimination... Finally, a construction site located southeast of the piano store suddenly came to mind.
This construction site is relatively familiar to the Tang Dynasty, and it is one of the few school district housing projects nearby. It was previously contracted by the Xie family. Later, as the Xie family completely withdrew from the real estate field last year, construction here also stopped for a period of time. However, because of its
The properties of houses in the school district were soon taken over by other real estate companies and are still under construction.
The main traffic roads near the construction site are Jiangquan Road, Xichun Road, and a bus terminal... Call up intersection monitoring, set time limits, check and filter... Soon, a red Skoda drove up Jiangquan Road from the direction of the construction site
Come into view.
At this point, let’s go back and summarize the above process. This kind of thinking logic is obviously not aimed at ordinary targets, but now it can find people... It’s a bit interesting.
Narrowing his eyes, Tang Chao wrote down the car owner information found based on the license plate number, pushed away the keyboard, stood up, and walked to the bathroom...
…
At two o'clock in the morning, Yu Zhihong woke up from bed and sat up.
The wife who was sleeping beside her murmured unconsciously in her sleep, pulled off the thin blanket covering her body, and fell asleep again with her back turned.
Above his head, the bedroom air conditioner in sleep mode slowly and silently blew a comfortable cool breeze. However, Yu Zhihong raised his hand to wipe his forehead by mistake, and found a hand with a thin layer of sweat. He couldn't help but sit in a daze, and his heart gradually filled with tears.
Feelings of regret.
The reason why he behaved like this was not because he had a nightmare, he knew the reason himself. He might have been a little reckless in what he did today...
In fact, it wasn't a big deal, it was even very ordinary. I just acted as a temporary driver and drove two foreign friends who had just arrived in Lingjiang to a certain place in the city to run some errands. It was no big deal.
The only thing that was a little unusual might be that he didn't know the two foreign friends.
He was also entrusted by someone. When he was studying in the UK a few years ago, he worked in a local restaurant and met an old foreign man who often came to the restaurant. He was well-dressed and generous, and he would provide him with some service almost every time he came to dine.
Tip. After going back and forth, the two of them got to know each other.
There were some interactions later. For example, after the other party learned that he had been cheated by an unscrupulous landlord, he helped him rent an apartment again, and also gave him some work advice after graduation, etc.
Perhaps to the other party, these are just trivial things that are not worth mentioning. But this kind of helping hand is undoubtedly precious to Yu Zhihong, who goes to study abroad alone, and his eyesight is dark.
Very grateful.
Because of this, although he finally chose to return to China for development, he did not choose to forget about this hard-earned cross-border friend. Instead, he kept in touch and never forgot to send blessings and greetings during the holidays.
Therefore, when he got off work tonight, he learned that two of his friends were coming to Lingjiang to do some errands. However, because they were unfamiliar with the place and needed a local guide driver, he did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
The thing was done very smoothly, and it didn't even take an hour. But afterwards, Yu Zhihong thought more and more something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong specifically. He just felt that the two behaved extremely after getting in the car.
The indifferent Wai Guoren didn't look like he was out to do something. And the place where he was asked to park and wait, that remote construction site, was not chosen normally...
Yu Zhihong is not a person who is inexperienced in the world. On the contrary, he has quite a lot of experience and prides himself on being quite smart in dealing with people. Therefore, some bad associations cannot help but arise.
Of course, after all, he is just an ordinary person. No matter how hard he tries to think about it, it is impossible to guess the other party's true identity and purpose. I want to ask that person who has never said anything, but I hesitate again and again...
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, maybe the other party is really just here to do something, maybe he is overthinking it. Moreover, even if there is something, he doesn’t know anything, it should have nothing to do with him...
Comforting himself in this way, Yu Zhihong gently lifted the thin blanket and got out of bed. With the help of the dim wall lamp, he subconsciously glanced at the little life sleeping quietly in the crib beside him. His daughter couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Go up. At the same time, make a decision secretly if you have some enlightenment in your heart.
There will still be no contact with old Irving from now on...
Shaking his head, he walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room. He opened the refrigerator door, took out a bottle of juice, and when he turned around to unscrew the bottle cap, his eyes caught something, and his body froze suddenly!
On the sofa in the dark and gloomy living room, at some point, a ghostly figure appeared out of thin air.
Sitting quietly, holding the family photo frame that was originally placed under the TV cabinet in his left hand, wisps of moonlight slipped in from the balcony, illuminating the glass surface of the frame and slightly refracting fluorescence. His right arm rested on the armrest of the sofa, hanging down naturally in his palm, holding it
A... pistol?!
In an instant, Yu Zhihong felt spring thunder in his ears, and there was a roar in his head. His whole body was spinning and he was stunned in place. In a trance, a faint voice came,
"Finally woke up? Do you know why I didn't just take you out of the bedroom?"
"I, I, I..."
"Don't be nervous. I know you don't know much, but you still have to ask. Oh, by the way, your daughter is very cute."
