He put away his umbrella and walked quickly into the corridor. His police officer Xiao Ke also came to greet him: "Sister Qing, didn't you hear that your mother and sister came here? I'm just suspicious now, and there won't be any results yet.
No need to come in person."
"Haha, it's better to have clues than no clues." Mu Qingqing smiled guiltily, "How are you now?"
"We found some scraps of paper from the garbage bag we just picked up. After collaging them together, we thought they should be the targets that the Yutou group was preparing to move to. However, the drawings on the paper were very rough and there were a few missing.
Some places were wet by rain again. It is still difficult for us to determine..."
"Take me to see it."
"Sister Qing, have you ever thought that Liu Zhiming was basically lying to us. His purpose was just for the informant fee?" Xiao Ke asked on the way to the office.
"Heh. Can you lend him some courage?"
"But his wife was sick and all the money at home was spent. He borrowed money from everywhere, even from loan sharks. Could it be that he happened to know what the Yutou gang was going to do. That's why he acted like this on purpose."
"It's better to believe that something happened than to believe something didn't happen. It's best if nothing happens. If something happens, everyone will have a hard time." Walking into the big office at the end, several police officers gathered around the table replied.
After turning around and saying hello to clear the space, they gathered around the table on the ground. There was a broken picture pieced together from scraps of paper. Next to it was a detailed map of Yujiang City for comparison. But...
"Are there no other fragments missing? Have you also looked for them at the scene?"
"No, I've seen it over there too. The Yutou gang has been gone for two or three days. It's been windy these days. Even if there were any left, they would have been blown away long ago..."
"...You can't see anything like this. There are two intersections without signs. There are too many places like this. Although there are a few arrows. But..."
Mu Qingqing frowned and took out a pair of rubber gloves from the drawer: "Take me to see that garbage bag."
In the small room next door, the mess in the garbage bag had already been divided into several piles. There was an unpleasant smell from the leftover food. Although it was winter, the smell was not strong, but it was still strong enough.
Look. Mu Qingqing stood there, fiddling with the little stick. About ten minutes later, she came out of the room with a frown on her face. She threw some chestnut shells in her hand and threw them on the table.
"It's the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China on Wuyi Street. They may be planning to rob the bank..."
"Uh, no, Sister Qing, although the Yutou gang was considered lawless before, they didn't have the guts to do so...and, how do you know..."
Mu Qingqing has only been here for more than a year. He is not a local, but he immediately became the captain of the criminal police. Although his ability is considered outstanding, he is naturally not so convincing in many places. The man who said this sentence
Naturally, his subordinates didn't believe it. Mu Qingqing shrugged, picked up the little gangster next to him and started drawing, trying to restore the things on the broken piece of paper.
"Two crossroads. Buildings, buildings. The one here is larger than this one. This is a bank. The Industrial and Commercial Bank near Yujiang is dominated by this one. When it was originally built, there was a police station that dispatched police very quickly.
The place, but I know that the police station was relocated three years ago. Instead, this place has become a relatively blind spot. Look at the arrow. If you do something there, escape this way and prepare a car. This is the most ideal approach.
And the most important thing is these chestnut shells."
Mu Qingqing picked up a few chestnut shells from the table, and then scratched them on the blackboard with chalk.
"I live near here now. I pass by it every day. There is a market at the intersection of the bank. There is a man selling sugar-fried chestnuts here. I often go there to buy them. You should also have eaten sugar-fried chestnuts.
As you know, chestnuts are available all year round. However, after being fried, there are always some bad places. I usually like to eat them, and I have tried several other places in Yujiang to buy them. So I have the right to say. From Jianghai to Yujiang
, I’m afraid this stall only sells roasted chestnuts with sugar, and it’s never bad. I should have chosen it when cutting..."
Everyone looked a little complicated after hearing these words. Xiao Ke smiled and said: "Does this count as the number one scholar in 360 lines..."
"Oh, that's right. If we eat roasted chestnuts and eat them, of course we will spit them out. But I checked all the crusts. None of them were spit out, and even if they are lucky or other merchants
It just so happened that I bought a batch of perfectly good chestnuts. But there is another point. There is no way it is a coincidence. This vendor’s knife skills are good. Every cut is just right. I can’t figure out how he manages to eat it several times.
Naturally, I discovered it. It’s like a machine. Maybe it’s because... fools are more focused..."
"Idiot?" someone asked in confusion. Then someone else started to say, "I heard that the guy who sells sugar-fried chestnuts has something wrong with his brain..."
"I don't know." Mu Qingqing shook his head. "If you buy something with him and don't talk much, he will be just like a normal person. But when he has nothing to do, he just sits there in a daze. He seems to be very focused on thinking about things and rarely talks to others.
There was a conversation...but that's not important anymore. That place is the temporary settlement of Yutou and the others. At this time, they have probably already agreed on what to do, and they can't just wander around on the street. Most likely, they just go to visit..."
"The intersections match, and the building sizes match. Plus these chestnut shells. According to Liu Zhiming's report, didn't he say that Yutou came back with a vicious cousin? So if they really want to do something, 80%
Ten places may..."
She tapped the tip of her pen on the blackboard. "That's it!"
Driving through the intersection, Mu Qingqing stopped.
The intentions of the Yutou gang are still only guesses. It is difficult to be sure that they really dare to commit such a big case as robbing a bank. The information from the informant is also somewhat unreliable, so the only thing they can do is as she said,
Take precautions early with the attitude of preferring to believe what you have or not.
I took some time to understand the situation at the bank and made some assumptions. The weather is bad and it may snow in the next few days - or tomorrow. After the heavy snow closes the mountains near the city, it will be much more difficult to escape and trace.
, if the other party wants to take action, they will probably choose these days before the weather becomes worse. As the new year is approaching, their tasks are also heavy. They have probably arranged a division of labor, and a group of people want her mother and sister to come over and urge her.
Go home. It’s almost ten o’clock in the evening.
She drove slowly and looked at the buildings around the street. Just as she had thought before, if she wanted to do something here, the bank would be the most valuable place. She stopped at the intersection and looked at it from a distance.
The bank on one side, and the food market entrance on the other side. A yellow light is still on, it is the man selling sugar-fried chestnuts.
Sometimes she really admired this young man who sold sugar and roasted chestnuts - he looked younger than her, but it was difficult to determine his exact age. It might be between twenty-one and twenty-nine. It was very common.
He has a face and a light beard, and some of his clothes look old, but not slovenly, as if they have been washed over and over again until the color turns white, but they feel like they can continue to be worn as long as they are not worn out.
Frugal. At first glance, you should feel clean, honest and introverted. If you dress up, you might be able to look like a shy boy.
She had always felt that a man of his age would not spend his days guarding a cart selling candies and roasted chestnuts. Of course, things were not as she thought.
Ever since she saw this cart selling sugar-roasted chestnuts at the beginning of last year, she would see this cart appear before six o'clock every morning. The small warm yellow light with battery life would light up before sunrise.
In the gloomy market, until the dusk rose, the vendors in the market left one after another, and the lights came on again. He stayed there until all the people left and the market was empty, but he was still there.
, and waited until 10 o'clock in the evening to close the stall on time, every day, rain or shine.
She didn't feel anything at first, but thanks to her gluttony and occupational diseases, she gradually noticed this cart selling candied and roasted chestnuts. There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year. Everyone should do something different.
. Or encounter any unexpected obstacles, but this car is always there every day. At least from 6 am to 10 pm every day. Every time she passes by, this car is always there. Without exception.
She has only been here for more than a year. Sometimes she feels that this car has become some kind of constant coordinate in space and time for her.
As if it was a sign placed there by God, the people, objects, plants or buildings around it will change over time. Only this car is parked here, silently watching the dawn and night every day.
, when it is still dark, it lights up, waiting for the street lights to go out. At sunrise, there are more and more pedestrians. When it gets dark, it still lights there, watching that there are fewer and fewer pedestrians in the street.
, gradually became quiet.
Of course, such thoughts only occasionally arise in her mind. But because of this, she often goes there to buy candied roasted chestnuts to eat.
However, all this may also be because the man selling sugar and roasted chestnuts is a bit weird, and more people say that he is a fool. But he is different from the ordinary stupid patients. If you buy something from him, he will not care about the price or other matters.
They are all very skillful. He can even speak a few simple words like a normal person, but he does not talk to others in other ways. He spends more time sitting behind the stall in a daze, frowning as if he is thinking a lot.
He is thinking about things, or reminiscing about them. Occasionally there is a faint smile. If you just look at him from a distance, you may think that he is very mature, and that is why people are completely confused about his age.
He went to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts many times. Mu Qingqing also heard from the street vendor next to him that there were a few times when he seemed to have returned to normal and said a few words to the people next to him.
He was startled. But after saying a few words, he returned to his dazed state. Others also thought: Maybe it's because he is a unique fool that he can make fried chestnuts so delicious. No matter what
After all, it’s just a place selling sugar-fried chestnuts.
She looked at the time. Mu Qingqing pushed the door open and got out of the car. Then she opened her umbrella and walked toward the market. The rain became lighter and the air was cooler, which helped her think. It was already time for the other party to close the stall.
She wanted to buy some more for a midnight snack. Maybe say a few words, and if she was lucky, maybe she could catch this idiot when he was normal - she decided to try her luck.
She didn't know when she got out of the car that this joking idea would change many things after that, or in other words, determine many things after that.
No matter how many futures there have been in our imaginations, there is only one real future - the one we choose.
