Li Meng pulled up a chair and sat down. He pondered for a moment and said: "If the crime scene is really upstairs, it would be easy for us to investigate. The bones were all washed down from the sewer. We only need to investigate every household in the entire building."
The user’s water consumption for the past few days will be enough.
"If you want to wash down this whole person, it will take a lot of water. Wen Zhao, you go to the property management department to check it now. Xiao Yi, take this bone back to the team for inspection, expedite it."
"Okay.", "Yes."
The two young men agreed at the same time, turned around and trotted away from the food stall.
Chen Shu and others sat quietly on the edge, waiting for Li Meng to arrange the investigation work step by step.
As the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade promoted from the headquarters, the experienced Li Meng has long been proficient in handling and investigating various criminal cases.
The reason why he is so qualified to lead the Criminal Congress at such a young age is inseparable from the numerous major cases he has solved as an investigator.
Although since he was promoted to brigade cadre, Li Meng has basically left the front line and has not directly participated in handling cases. He is in charge of criminal cases and has been reviewing and approving brigade cases all year round. Naturally, he still has this vision and experience.
Therefore, after Chen Shu raised doubts, he immediately arranged corresponding investigation measures.
Half an hour later, Wen Zhao, who went to investigate the property of the building, returned to the restaurant lobby.
He raised his finger and pointed at the ceiling and said: "Li Da, upstairs in 502, there has been a lot of water use in the past few days. Especially in the middle of the night, there has been a peak water consumption. Well, the water consumption the day before yesterday was two tons."
"It must be this one!" Knowing that all the people present were criminal police, Jiang Hai, who had been quiet for a while, finally couldn't help but speak out.
Why are ordinary people here talking nonsense?
Chen Shu is really too casual, how could he handle the case like this!
Li Meng, who had gathered with Chen Shu and others at the steakhouse during the day, knew that this man was the younger brother of the street director, so he couldn't get angry at the moment, but he still gave Jiang Hai a serious look.
Jiang Hai shrank his head and leaned towards Chen Chuan involuntarily.
Chen Chuan, who works in technical investigation, is not afraid of these criminal policemen. In the past, in the unit, they would always come to him with shy faces and hand over cigarettes to ask for technical assistance.
He, Chen Chuan, was not used to it: "Li Meng, why are you glaring at the child? You are the only one who has embarrassed a disappearance case and you don't even know it is a murder case. Who can you show your shame to?"
Before, he was handing cigarettes to Jiang Hai, but now he has become a child.
"You!" Li Meng was furious, but he really couldn't do anything about this old classmate who had a playful smile and was oilier than anyone else.
"Ahem." Chen Shu coughed a few times, knowing that he couldn't slap him in the face in front of his subordinates, so he said conciliatingly, "Jiang Hai, you go to your sister's place first."
"Okay, Brother Shu." Jiang Hai still had a wink and obediently ran to his sister who was nestling behind the front desk.
Only then did Li Meng realize that there was someone hiding behind the front desk. It sounded like he was the young and beautiful street director who was at the steakhouse that afternoon.
He couldn't help but sit up straight, his expression suddenly sank, and he ordered solemnly: "Okay, next, I will lead the team to 502 to arrest the suspect."
"yes!"
The answering voice was neat and loud, and the momentum was not weak.
The detectives under his command cooperated very well, and a group of people followed Li Meng out of the food stall.
Chen Chuan turned to Chen Shu, who was sitting motionless, and asked, "Aren't we going to go? This is a great contribution to the murder case."
Chen Shu smiled slightly and pointed outside: "I saw that the boards Li Meng had arranged earlier had holes, and they were linked together. Why did he suddenly go crazy and rush upstairs without caring about it?"
Chen Chuan sensed something and joked: "Don't worry about him, just tell me what's going on here. The people you handle the case will have a bright light in their heads."
"Actually, they are all trivial matters. There is nothing to say." Chen Shu smiled and did not answer Chen Chuan's words, showing an expression that he did not care about any merits or achievements.
This expression made Chen Chuan very unhappy, very unhappy.
Chen Chuan, who knew Chen Shu's character well, rolled his eyes and said in a deliberately long tone: "Ma Bowen in the front team stripped off his clothes and jumped into the well to dig bones for you. There is no place to talk about how dirty he is.
If the credit comes then..."
Chen Shu glanced at the other party, took out the police pass from his jacket pocket, shook it in his hand, and said calmly: "Li Meng is a little anxious. Now that we have this thing, we can check things anytime and anywhere. We can't catch anything."
Those who arrest people don’t lack this much time.”
While I was talking, the information of the resident in 502 upstairs popped up from the police account.
Chen Shu, who was originally indifferent, was fascinated. Chen Chuan, who was sitting opposite, knew there was something going on and quickly stepped up to take a closer look.
"I'll go! Isn't this person the owner of the steakhouse we had lunch at?" Chen Chuan looked at it for a moment, then suddenly pointed at the police call screen and exclaimed.
Normally, all the residents in the building leading to the well pipe where the human bones were found are suspects, and the restaurant owner on the first floor who was first discovered in the bank's surveillance video is naturally the most suspect.
The residents in Room 502 upstairs used excessive water. The abnormal peak water consumption coincided with the disappearance of Sister Hua, and there were many suspicions. Qianqianyi哾
According to the information obtained by Chen Shu from the police station, the tenant living in Room 502 happened to be the owner of the steakhouse, a middle-aged man wearing transparent glasses and fashionable clothes.
Chen Chuan's shout attracted the attention of Yan Chenxi and Jiang Hai who were sitting at the front desk. Seeing that there was no one else in the lobby, the two moved over curiously.
Jiang Hai didn't remember the face of the steakhouse owner, but he did remember the address of the steakhouse.
He hesitated and said: "The steakhouse seems to be open next door, also on the first floor of this building."
Chen Chuan didn't hesitate anymore, grabbed Chen Shu's shoulder and said eagerly: "Shu, go to the steakhouse now. It's probably still within business hours. We might be able to catch someone!"
Chen Shu hesitated for a while and said: "There are only two of us, it's too dangerous. It's better to wait until Li Meng and others come back before going, or I call Ma Bowen and they will bring someone over."
Chen Chuan slapped his palm on the table, ignoring the surprised expressions of Yan Chenxi and Jiang Hai, and yelled angrily: "Chen Shu, you stupid head! I'm going to be pissed off by you! I'll just leave my words here,
If you don't go to the steakhouse with me, I'll...
"I'll die immediately!" Chen Chuan was a little confused, but he finally spit it out, "I'll die immediately for you to see!"
"Pfft", Yan Chenxi couldn't help but laugh first. Jiang Hai looked at the policeman who was about to "die" as if he were a fool.
Chen Chuan looked embarrassed.
"Squeak."
The iron door of the food stall opened, and Ma Bowen, who had changed into dry clothes but still smelled vaguely of the sour sewer, walked in and asked doubtfully: "Captain Chen, what's wrong?"
