When Zhang Chao took his jacket and walked out of the office, the office lights were still on and everyone was almost gone. Only Qi Chuchen was still sitting at the desk. Zhang Chao walked over and patted Qi Chuchen on the shoulder, "Go together, go home." ."

Qi Chuchen picked up his jacket and Zhang Chao's heels and walked downstairs, out of the lobby on the first floor. Qi Chuchen buried his head and took the key and was walking towards his car. Zhang Chao pulled him and raised his chin: "It seems to be waiting for you. of."

Qi Chuchen followed Zhang Chao's line of sight. There was a black car parked in front of the city bureau. The driving window was half rolled down. It was Yan Mu.

Qi Chuchen muttered, "Didn't I say that I don't need it." Putting on his coat and walking out. I walked to the car, opened the door and sat in, "I told you not to come, it's so late."

"When you told me not to come, I have already arrived." Yan Mu said irritably, and then mentioned a box next to him, "Supper, I made it, hurry up and eat it."

When Qi Chuchen sat in the car and finished his meal, the car happened to be downstairs home, and Yan Mu took the lunch box, "Go up, I will pick you up tomorrow morning and go to bed early."

Qi Chuchen smiled sweetly at Yan Mu, "Okay."

It wasn't until Qi Chuchen came upstairs that the lights in the room showed through the windows, and Yan Mu drove into the boundless night.

This year it was extremely cold. The temperature had plummeted just after the National Day. At less than eight o'clock the next morning, Yan Mu’s car stopped downstairs at Qi Chuchen’s house.

"It's so cold, do you still wear it like this?" Yan Mu frowned as Qi Chuchen, who was wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt and a windbreaker, walked over to sit in the co-pilot.

"Less? A lot? I'm not cold." Qi Chuchen looked at himself.

"Okay, anyway, you have a cold back, and someone is waiting for you." Yan Mu started the car and drove to the city bureau.

"Who is taking care of?" Qi Chuchen felt wrong as soon as he said this sentence, and he laughed twice.

Yan Mu drove the car, turned his head and gave a blank look, and said three words in an aggravated tone: "No conscience!"

It was relatively early, and the road was smooth. Soon I arrived at the door of the city bureau and stopped the car. Yan Mu reached out and grabbed a paper bag from the back seat and handed it to the co-pilot Qi Chuchen, who was ready to get out of the car by unlocking the seat belt. I boiled the porridge for a whole night. Then there is a box of American ginseng, I cut the slices, you soak in water and drink, and you always stay up late."

Qi Chuchen opened the paper bag and took a look: "You are so good to me, what should I do if I like you better?"

Yan Mu pushed the car door lock: "Get out of here."

Qi Chuchen smiled and got out of the car with a paper bag and went into the city bureau. Just entering the door, he ran into Gao Rui head-on. Gao Rui glanced at Yan Mu's car and whispered, "Brother Qi, is this the rich man who sent you the Land Rover? "

"I bought the Land Rover by myself!" Qi Chuchen said righteously.

"Yes, who is that person?" Gao Rui looked back again, Yan Mu stopped the car and didn't leave.

"Want to know?" Qi Chuchen turned to look at Gao Rui, who nodded vigorously.

"I won't tell you." Qi Chuchen stepped forward, stepped up the steps, entered the office building gate, and cast off Gao Rui with a toothache expression on his face.

The moment Qi Chuchen entered the office building, Yan Mu started the car and left.

At 9:30 in the morning, after a brief meeting, Qi Chuchen and Gao Rui drove to the community at the scene of the crime, taking the information of the old colleague Long Xingmin who had just been initially screened in the morning, and prepared to visit again to find out.

These people are almost retired. They basically didn't go out in the morning. After a round of understanding, there was very little information provided by all parties. They were similar: Long Xingmin operated machine tools on the factory production line in the early years, and later due to a mechanical accident, his right index finger was hinged. , I went to the factory janitor. The factory went bankrupt a few years ago and retired early because of injuries. People are usually reticent and quiet, kind to everyone, responsive to requests, never lose their temper, never get close to people, and basically have no in-depth dealings.

After lunch time passed, Gao Rui Qi Chuchen walked out of the home of the last person he visited, and was about to drive back to the city bureau. Qi Chuchen's cell phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who may I ask?" Qi Chuchen picked it up.

"Hello, is this Comrade the police? You called me yesterday. I was not at home. I came back today and the neighbor told me and gave me this phone number." An old voice came from the other end.

Qi Chuchen was excited: "You are the old grandson? Are you home? Are you at home now?"

"Ah, yes, I am at home now, do you want to come over? I can wait for you." The old grandson said.

"Okay, we will be there soon." Qi Chuchen hung up, "Go, the old grandson is back, let's talk."

The two of them walked quickly to Badong and walked to the door of Lao Sun’s head. They knocked on the door and heard hurried footsteps. Then the door slammed open, "Comrade police, please? Come in." The old grandson didn't even see the person's appearance, so he rushed to welcome him into the house.

After entering the door, the old grandson led the two to sit down in the living room. Two glasses of water had been poured on the coffee table in front of him. Qi Chuchen and Gao Rui took out the work permits and gave them to the grandson, who hurriedly glanced at it. : "Comrade police, is it sure who died at Long Xingmin's house? How did it die?"

"It was confirmed that it was Long Xingmin himself, he killed him." Qi Chuchen watched the old grandson slowly speak, and tears rolled out of the old grandson's eyes as soon as the voice fell. "It shouldn't be, how could it be like this. I am. It was fine before we left. How come it's gone like this."

Qi Chuchen watched the old grandson keep wiping tears on the back of his hand, "Uncle Sun, I heard that you have the best relationship with Long Xingmin. Can you tell us more about Long Xingmin? Family, work, social life, Economic situation. We have also learned some things with a few people in the past two days. Most of them don’t have much contact with Long Xingmin. They only say that he is kind and nice. I hope you can provide us with more clues so that we can lock in as soon as possible. suspects."

The old grandson rubbed his face with the back of his hand and wiped away the tears. "Long Xingmin is a few years younger than me, and he entered the factory a few years later. I will count him as half a master. I’m leading him. People who don’t know much about him think he is a good guy. In fact, he’s just timid and fearful. As far as his hand injury is concerned, even if he is injured at work, the factory should raise him and transfer him to a spare position. , But the leader is black, just let someone get the guard, and the salary is lowered, I'm going to find the leader, he still drags me, not let me go, afraid of offending the leader, no job." Speaking of this, old grandson He sighed heavily.

"How are Long Xingmin's economic conditions? Do you have any hobbies?" Gao Rui asked.

"My hobby is to have two sips of wine with me, sometimes playing chess, and the economy is very bad. After he looks at the door, his salary is lower. However, he usually doesn't pay attention to food and clothing. He wears a piece of clothing for decades. Money It's barely enough." The old grandson took the cigarette that Qi Chuchen handed over.

"Their husband and wife relationship, is the father-daughter relationship okay?" Qi Chuchen handed another cigarette to Gao Rui, and lit it again.

The old grandson lit his cigarette and inhaled fiercely, and shook his head: "No, he is actually a strange-tempered man, he is timid and fearful when he is outside. He talks about everything at home and does everything he can. After beating his wife for decades, I have never persuaded him. I can't persuade you to use it. I can't say much about the housework. I finally beat my wife away a few years ago and stopped living with him."

"How far did Long Xingmin beat his wife" Qi Chuchen asked.

Hearing this, the old grandson was stunned: "Most of them are slaps, and occasionally I take things to slap them."

"Have you ever had a broken bone? Have you ever used a knife?" Qi Chuchen asked.

The old grandson became more confused and shook his head, "Is there any fracture. The most threatening to use the knife is not to dare to make a real stroke. However, he slaps his hands so hard that his face will be swollen. Sometimes he pulls a belt and he can see the injuries on his arms and arms." I basically know it in the factory."

"Do you meet often? When was the last time you saw him? Does his wife still live here? Do you usually go back?" Gao Rui asked.

"My wife helps with the children at my daughter's house. I am here by myself. When the weather is warm, we spend most of the time in the courtyard every night, playing chess, and drinking. If it's cold, we can sit together almost every other day or two. Chat. The last time I saw him should be two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I went to my daughter's house during Mid-Autumn Festival. Her wife’s parents are also retired employees of the factory, so there is also a house here. His wife ran away without him. I went back to my parents’ house. I don’t usually go back. When I go back, either Long Xingmin is sick and can’t get out of bed. Her wife goes back to cook and buy medicine, or Long Xingmin has no money and asks his wife to take the money back. "The old grandson said.

"Does his wife have any brothers or sisters? He beats his wife, and no one in her family comes forward to speak? What about his daughter? Does he often get beaten too?" Gao Rui asked.

The old grandson waved his hand: "His daughter has done well since childhood, and has also been admitted to a key university. He treats his daughter very well and looks very closely. He never said anything serious to his daughter, let alone. Let's do it. Her wife seems to have brothers and sisters who are not here in the field."

"Have you heard him say who you are grudges with? Or do you think anyone will resent him and get revenge on him?" Qi Chuchen asked.

"Having resentment? His cowardly character was bullied to death, and he didn't dare to say anything. Who could get resentful, if he wanted to retaliate against him, maybe it was his wife, but her wife's body is in her 50s and 70s or 80s. Like the old lady, I can't beat him, let alone kill him." Qi Chuchen heard the actual age of Long Xingmin's wife, thought about what she saw at first sight that day, and nodded, indeed she couldn't kill him, and chopped a few pieces. .

Qi Chuchen stood up and signaled Gao Rui to leave.

"Uncle Sun, thank you for this information, it is very useful. We will contact you if we need to follow up, thank you for your cooperation, we will go first." Qi Chuchen stretched out his hand and shook the old grandson's head.

The old grandson kept sending the two to the door and said before closing the door: "Comrade police, you are going to catch the murderer." When he said the last two words, his voice choked again.

When Qi Chuchen and Gao Rui returned to the city bureau, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. The cause of death of Long Xingmin from the forensic doctor has been determined: "Oral ingestion" poisoning."

Zhu Zhen and Luo Hao are still investigating Liu Sulian and Long Yalei's trajectory in the past month.

Qi Chuchen called out the monitoring that he brought back from the guard yesterday, and started to look at it with Gao Rui. Although he knew that the hope was slim, he still had to look for valuable information.

"Da De Di", Qi Chuchen's mobile phone screen lit up, and a new WeChat message appeared.

Qi Chuchen clicked on WeChat,

"My dear, you are on the news." Yan Mu sent a WeChat message, followed by a link.

When Qi Chuchen looked at the link title and the small picture attached to it, his eyes widened instantly.
