“Take your time to check.”
I asked Lao Wu, “Do you remember when this picture was taken?”
“Ask my sister.” Lao Wu wanted to get his phone and call, but suddenly, as if he thought of something, he put the phone down and said, “I’ll go back tonight and ask.”
“Okay.” I said, “Your sister’s mouth is not tight, so find a way to side-step the question and not make anyone suspicious.”
Old Wu held the phone, his hand still shaking a little, and said, “Things are moving a little fast. Has Haozi got someone on his back?”
I said, “How’s the investigation into the fire outside the suburbs going?”
“Hey, let’s not talk about it, so many people died, it’s something that has to be reported. But the fire investigation is still in progress, the fire investigation has been short of manpower, and the New Year is, as you know, a high fire season.”
Xia Gehuai said, “No, how can a small fire be compared to this case, so many people died, the fire investigation must be allocated to this case first even if they can’t spare any more manpower.”
Old Wu was stunned by our question and said, “Because it’s been in the fire investigation stage, this is still a matter for the Fengqi detachment now. Although I’m also in charge, this case is in the hands of the Zhou Bureau, and it’s unlikely that Zhou will report the findings to me.”
I could find a chance to ask the Zhou Bureau about this matter.
“Old Wu, tell me a cross word, are you a local?”
“Yes.”
“Then you’re a man, right?”
“That’s not bullsh*t.”
“How many years have you been a cop?”
“Fifteen years, I’ve been a cop since I was 18.”
“Did you take Xu Changsheng’s dossier?”
“That one is at Bureau Zhou’s, no, Xu Changsheng’s case file was taken away?”
Old Wu slapped the table and stood up, looking at his reaction, I knew he wasn’t pulling the wool over my eyes, he really didn’t know.
Those questions I asked him earlier were simple ones, questions he could only answer with the truth, so that his mind would subconsciously form an inertia that would allow him to only tell the truth, and if he had to lie, or evade the question, his expression would instantly become strange.
But this look on Lao Wu’s face was not an act; he told the truth.
“The case file was lost?” Lao Wu asked once in pursuit.
I said, “It’s confidential, but I already have an idea in my mind who stole it, so don’t worry, I’ll get the case file back in a few days. It’s just that I still can’t figure out what his purpose was in hiding the case file.”
“Who is it?”
“I need to verify it. Old Zhao, let me discuss something with you. Zhao Xiaoliu, this kid has really good talent, let him follow the Thousand Gate and learn the art.”
Zhao Zichen was stunned and said, “You’re crazy, what kind of line is the Thousand Doors, the lower ninth grade, don’t mention this.”
I laughed, “When did you ever f*cking look down on the lower class? You’re just looking down on the moon full bow, in fact, how is the Thousand Doors, you’ve seen it, brother and brother ……”
“No, you stop, you don’t understand what I mean.” Zhao Zichen let out a long sigh, “Zhang Chao, you simply don’t understand what it means to be a jianghu. Once you enter the jianghu, it’s as deep as the sea, I don’t want Zhao Xiaoliu to have a jianghu identity. And how much suffering does a child apprentice have to suffer, I’m not exaggerating, Baldy grew up eating no less suffering than you.”
Zhao Zichen’s attitude was firm, and now I couldn’t conveniently stalk him anymore.
Coming back to Lao Wu, I could now trust him, but I was even more certain that this poisonous weed within the police station had reached a point where it had to be eradicated.
I said, “What else did you get out of the Yu Shen case?”
Lao Wu said, “There’s a lot of information, because Yu Shen was blown up and it’s hard to move forward with the autopsy. But the explosion was loud, so the time of death can be confirmed down, but unfortunately …… there are no cameras around that place, there were two civilian cameras and both were blown up. It will take some time to retrieve the cameras on the way here.”
I mentally gave the case a first X. It would be faster for me to have Meng Meng look into this case, but I didn’t want to call in too much of Snow Leopard’s power for now.
I added, “What about the Xu Changsheng case, is there anything about the deceased?”
Lao Wu said, “We found that the deceased had an extra 30 million dollars in his account a month before he died.”
“That much?” Zhao Zichen frowned and sneered one, “Blackmailed whoever got it, I already have someone in mind.”
Old Wu asked, “Who is it? Could it be the same person who killed Zhao Qiyu?”
“You guys can’t find out who called in the money?”
“The money was earned by him selling bitcoins, but bitcoin transactions are completely stealthy, we can’t find out, and now domestic criminals also use bitcoin transactions. Hey, high technology, also brings more complicated cases.”
I said, “Zhao Qiyu’s case is also put aside for now, now the key targets are focused on ……”
Lao Wu said, “The most important thing is these two cases, what else can there be?”
Xia Gehuai said, “The most important one happens to be the fire in the western suburbs, Lao Zhang, you tell him the truth.”
I told Lao Wu what happened that night, picking out what I could, but of course I didn’t mention the button, or how Moon Full Bow had killed dozens of people by himself.
Old Wu was dumbfounded after hearing this, and shook his head repeatedly, saying that it was impossible.
“That man who was burnt to a charcoal is the Dragon you guys are talking about?”
“You guys haven’t finished identifying the body?”
“I told you, the Zhou Bureau has someone leading the team in charge of this, I’m just a temporary agent after all, I can’t manage many things.”
This is the first time that I’ve ever seen a person who has benefited the most from the suspension of Liu Hao ……
I did not say it in front of anyone, because I have to verify first before I can, this conjecture is too terrible.
And, if you have to analyze it hard, everyone is suspected.
I said, “That’s the most important case, and it’s related to the gun smuggling case you found out about as well. Now the question is, who betrayed the informant, and you tell me how your informant’s identity is kept secret?”
Liu Hao told me that only Bureau Zhou and he knew, but after Lao Wu listened, he shook his head repeatedly, “Haozi that’s wrong, if he hadn’t let slip, then even Bureau Zhou wouldn’t have known, only Haozi knew.”
I frowned and asked, “What’s going on here?”
