"The borrower here is Liu Chen. Why does this name look so familiar to me?" Song Yi said to himself.
Suddenly Song Yi seemed to remember something: "I remember that Wei Xiaofeng's husband also seems to be surnamed Liu, so why is he called Liu..."
Song Yi didn't think about it for a long time, so Ma Xiaotao hurriedly left the office and went to the service desk in front to check today's visitor registration record. What she never expected was that,
Wei Xiaofeng's man was also named Liu Chen. Ma Xiaotao quickly reported the situation to Song Yi, who was also very surprised.
Song Yi looked at the time on his watch. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Then he signaled Ma Xiaotao to get off work and continue investigating the matter tomorrow...
The next morning, Qin Nan, who originally wanted to continue sleeping, found a message from Ma Xiaotao popping up on his phone. The time it was sent was around ten o'clock last night.
The message sent read: "Wei Xiaofeng's husband's name is Liu Chen."
Then there was no news. The corners of Qin Nan's mouth rose and he couldn't help but feel that this case was starting to become interesting. He responded with an OK expression.
Looking at the time, it was already 7:30 in the morning. It seemed that he woke up on time at this time every day. Wu Haotian had just cooked the noodles. Qin Nan hurried out the door after eating the noodles and washing up.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the police station. At this time, Ma Xiaotao was standing at the door of the police station eating steamed buns and soy milk. When he asked her why she didn't bring breakfast in, she said it was a disciplinary issue and had nothing to say.
"By the way, is the Liu Chen on the IOU the same person as the Liu Chen registered yesterday?" Qin Nan asked.
"Probably, let's go." Ma Xiaotao then ate most of the steamed bun in one bite and walked into the police station lobby.
Ma Xiaotao took him to her workstation. This was the first time she brought Qin Nan to her workstation. Qin Nan always thought that she had no place to work.
There was a large pile of unknown information on her desk. What caught his attention most was that there was a photo of Ma Xiaolu and her next to the computer.
"I have found out that Yu Kunyang's social security payment unit and Liu Chen's social security payment unit are the same, which means they are colleagues." Ma Xiaotao took out a piece of information and said,
There were also dense records of various things on it. These seemed to be some notes she took after get off work yesterday. Qin Nan really didn't expect that she was so concerned about her work.
It's no wonder that Song Yi wants to train her as much as possible.
"I called Wei Xiaofeng last night and briefly asked about Liu Chen's work situation. Liu Chen and Yu Kunyang do work in the same unit, and this place is Anfutang on Jianxin Road, Jiangbei District." Ma Xiaotao said.
"Hey, it's not bad. We have already investigated to this point, and we have made great progress." Qin Nan praised with a smile.
"Humph, I'm not like you. I love the police profession, and I want to be a criminal detective now." Ma Xiaotao said with a sneer.
Qin Nan looked at the time. It was already 8:45 in the morning. Colleagues in the police station also came to their respective workstations one after another, preparing for today's work.
When Ma Xiaotao saw Song Yi coming, she went over to say hello to him and said that she was going to Anfutang to investigate Liu Chen. Then she and Qin Nan left the police station with relevant things.
Song Yi also didn't expect that in the past half month, Ma Xiaotao's consciousness suddenly became so high. It seems that after Qin Nan returned, her progress was indeed much faster than before.
When they arrived at Anfu Hall in Jiangbei District, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
There were many cars parked outside this building, because this is the largest crematorium in Jiangbei District, and all cremations have almost ended at this time.
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao walked into the hall of Anfu Hall. They were greeted by display cabinets filled with various urns, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands. At this time, people sitting on chairs and crying could be seen everywhere in the hall.
sound,
This became the place where the living and the dead bid farewell, and where they last met.
Because the people closest to them had passed away, everyone was immersed in grief, and only intermittent crying could be heard in the hall.
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao slowly walked to the service desk over there. Ma Xiaotao showed his ID and said to the staff:
"Hello, I'm Ma Xiaotao from the city police station. I want to know something."
Then, the man standing behind the staff walked over with a smile. He seemed to be the person in charge here.
"This way, you two! I'm the person in charge here." Then the man took Qin Nan and the others to the lounge nearby.
"I would like to know about Yu Kunyang and Liu Chen. Do they work here?" Ma Xiaotao asked.
"Well, yes, because we only have ten cremators here, so I know better," the man said.
"How long has it been since Yu Kunyang came to work?" Qin Nan asked.
"It's been like this for four days. Liu Chen, who was with him, didn't come to work for three days." The man recalled.
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao looked at each other, because Yu Kunyang also ran away from home four nights ago, which meant that he did not come to work the next morning.
Yu Kunyang ran away on the evening of December 17th, and today is already December 20th. Liu Chen also did not come to work after Yu Kunyang disappeared. So I don’t know where Liu Chen has been these past few days.
At this time, a woman walked in from outside the door. Qin Nan couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw it, because this person was someone he had met before - Feng Lu.
"Hey, why are you here?" Qin Nan looked at Feng Lu in surprise and said.
"Hey, Officer Qin, what a coincidence, I quit my job there and returned to Anfutang as a makeup artist. I still prefer to put makeup on dead people." Feng Lu looked at Qin Nan and said with a smile.
Feng Lu was the one I met at the B&B hotel in Yunchang District before, when he was with Zhang San and Li Xiao.
When Qin Nan heard her say that she preferred to put makeup on dead people, all the hairs on his body stood up and he smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, I saw Yu Kunyang coming to work a few days ago, at 4:30 in the morning on December 18th..."
