Thirteen Empty Houses

The Honghua Community on Chemical Street was originally a welfare subdivision house built by Shengan Chemical Factory on the land adjacent to the factory building when the planned economy was implemented. In the end, a sloppy engineering team was spread out. Two days after the road was filled, water began to seep from the section of the road at the back door of the community before it had time to fill the asphalt. Seeing the smelly mud and dung soup spread farther and farther away, a lot of people who were idle at home The uncles and aunts mobilized together with walnuts and horses, and surrounded the neighborhood committee.

The clods of rocks and soil from the pipe replacement were still piled up at the intersection of the main entrance of the community. Xiao Letian had to make a detour and drive through the dung cement soup to avoid the middle-aged and elderly people who were gathering to complain. The stray cat shook the steering wheel in fright, ran over the potholes, and barely pulled the car to a stop.

The address that You Hao sent to Jiang Mo was very accurate. In addition to the building number and the house number, he also specially marked the specific location near the back door of the community, and even the broken sofa cushions that were often occupied by sunbathing old men and women right in front of the unit. are added in parentheses.

"101...Sister, it's here." Xiao Letian glanced at the house number marked in pencil on the wall, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, when he suddenly noticed a wind blowing in the corridor, and the old-fashioned anti-theft door also moved slightly , the lock tongue pops out with a "click click".

The door was actually open.

Jiang Mo received Xiao Letian's vigilant instruction, and took a closer look: the door lock obviously showed signs of being pried, the anti-theft door was ajar, the footsteps walking in the room fluctuated from far and near, and the rustling sound was very clear. I'm pacing back and forth, probably looking for valuables.

Jiang Mo frowned, and immediately grabbed the handcuffs sideways, leaving room for blocking, gestured to Xiao Letian for a countdown of three seconds, and yanked open the anti-theft door.

Without hesitation, Xiao Letian jumped in very neatly, and barely stopped the car when he was about to jump in front of the people in the room. He blinked at the elder sister who was wearing a peony jacket and was holding a bunch of keys in her hand, and seriously Thinking carefully about the possibility of the eldest sister wearing flowery clothes in broad daylight to burglary, she silently retracted the baton in her hand.

Jiang Mo was blocked at the door by Xiao Letian, who was braking halfway. He tilted his head and looked into the room. He was also dumbfounded for a while, and took out his ID card before Miss Peony Hua screamed and caught the thief, "Well... don't be afraid, police, perform official duties. "

----

"Hey, don't mention it... I kindly rented a house to this little girl, but you look at the door lock, the house was turned over, bad luck..."

Sister Hua didn't listen to the two policemen explaining why they came here, she just finished her lipstick in front of the mirror, dragged her fingernails up and sat down on a chair, "The rent should be paid last week, but what are you talking about?" I can't get in touch. I'm traveling abroad. I don't want to worry about it for a few days. It doesn't cost much to let her live for a week or two. But when I came back, I saw this place, and everyone ran away... It's not my fault Duo, it's nothing if you say she owes a little money, but the work she does is not clean, and she hides it and thinks I don't know, and if she doesn't speak clearly, she won't see anyone. Look at the door lock picker, I stepped on this house, I will rent out this house in the future, and I will often mutter in my heart, who knows who she provoked? Hey young man, please write it down, let me tell you-"

Xiao Letian painstakingly analyzed and recorded Sister Hua's repeated disgust and complaints, but due to the lack of experience at the grassroots level, the little policeman was more or less unable to deal with this kind of high-minded middle-aged woman with little money.Jiang Mo first stood aside and listened carefully for a while, then politely nodded to Sister Hua who was babbling back and forth, then gave Xiao Letian a firm look, and started walking around the room with his hands behind his back.

The size of the one-bedroom is small, and the non-load-bearing walls have been broken through, so the layout of the room is almost unobstructed.The living area is thoroughly organized, except for some inconvenient magazine decorations, there are not many clothes and daily necessities left, and they are even stacked in the corner of the room for the convenience of the landlord to clean; There, wardrobe drawers are nearly open, and the clean room is stacked with muddy footprints.

At first glance, it really looks like he is packing up and going back to his hometown in order to escape the cruel reality.

Jiang Mo rubbed his nose.She vaguely felt that there was a strange and familiar pungent smell mixed in the room, but this building was too close to the road where the sewer pipe seeped water at the back door of the community, and the room smelled stinky, so she was a little uncertain.

Jiang Mo suddenly turned around, looked at the wide open window beside the bed, and asked Sister Hua, "Did the window open when you came?"

"I opened it... I'm so angry..." Sister Hua slapped her hands and said angrily, "This window was open when I entered the door, and there was stinky water coming out of the back, and the room smelled of death from the sewer. ! But how to clean up..."

Jiang Mo simply agreed and didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the window frame and hesitated for a few seconds. He took out a crumpled glove from his pocket and put it on. She sniffled, then reached out and wiped the cracks in the floor tiles, twisted the powdery crystals stuck to the glove, and took a close sniff—the smell of disinfectant.

"Le Tianer, wear gloves." Jiang Mo's scalp tightened, and he took a quick look at Xiao Letian, "Check to see if the whole room has been disinfected and cleaned, and by the way, check if there is any bottle of disinfectant in the room, which is convenient for rinsing Be more careful."

Xiao Letian was taken aback for a moment, seeing Jiang Mo's face sinking, he felt a thud in his heart, he put on his gloves frivolously with the notebook between his hands, exhaled slowly, and calmed down to check carefully.

Jiang Mo followed the tiles at the foot of the wall all the way to the balcony.The cooktop range hood has obvious traces of long-term use, and the diluted disinfectant is not wiped thoroughly. There is a set of bowls and chopsticks in the cabinet, blocking a single couple's cup.

Seeing the battle of the two little policemen as if facing a big enemy, Sister Hua felt hairy all over, as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight, sitting there dry-mouthed and at a loss, Jiang Mo called her twice She was shocked suddenly, turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said there is cat food in the cupboard." Jiang Mo shook the half bag of cat food that had been opened in his hand, "Does she have a cat?"

"I won't let it, she didn't keep it in the house." Sister Hua touched the sweat on her forehead, "There are a lot of wild cats in the community, I have seen her feeding outside, in summer, there are wild cats under this small balcony , when it was cold, I ran to a place with heating pipes to stay, and there were all the smelly gutters beside the door, especially this year, and the people scurrying around the door were annoying..."

Jiang Mo looked at Sister Hua thoughtfully, didn't say a word, and was about to turn back to the small balcony when Xiao Letian suddenly howled in surprise in the bathroom, and jumped out holding a bottle of disinfectant.

"Sister! There is really half a bottle of unused disinfectant behind the toilet! Look at the opening of the bottle, it's still quite new."

----

Jiang Mo briefly communicated with the police from the police station of the Honghua Community District to help confirm the movement of Xiaoqing and Cheng Ye. He turned his head and saw Sister Hua turning away with her feet fluttering. She was frightened by the wild cat that suddenly brushed past her legs ran a few steps.

"She said that she didn't check too carefully when she signed the rental contract. She wasn't sure if the copy of the ID number she left was real. She went home and looked through it before sending me a photo." Xiao Letian took off his gloves and shook, "Now What should we do? Uncle Zhu and his forensic examination department were loaned to the next door to organize a business trip, and they will not be able to come back until tomorrow morning after rushing all night."

"Old Gu said that he has to wait for Xiaoqing's identity information to confirm whether there is any record of entering and leaving the city. It will take some time for the police station to investigate and sort out the movement route..." Jiang Mo tilted his head, and the dog sitting on the fence at the back gate of the community Sanhua Wildcat met his eyes, paused for a moment, raised his hand and slapped Xiao Letian on the center of the back: "Take that bottle of disinfectant, wrap it up, and try your luck nearby first."

Disinfectants are not considered prohibited or restricted items. The common brands of disinfectants are found in canteens, supermarkets, pharmacies, and shopping malls. At present, there are almost no reliable screening conditions—Jiang Mo and Xiao Letian even have no way of knowing whether the purchase of disinfectant is in line with Cheng Ye was definitely related, and it was the most effective way to check at the moment by going through all the nearby stores that sold disinfectant.

In the evening, dark clouds rolled over the sky, as if a torrential rain was about to come.

Xiao Letian walked half the street with a bottle of disinfectant, bought two bacon burritos on the way back, put them in his pocket and ran towards the direction of Jiang Mo's investigation, and walked to the end of the other half of the street before disposing of them in a pharmacy. people find.Jiang Mo was holding his mobile phone in front of the monitoring monitor of the pharmacy. When he saw Xiao Letian sneaking into the pharmacy in a daze, he immediately booed him, pointed to the monitor for him to watch, and then said to the mobile phone in a deep voice: "Zheng Fei , why should I listen to you talking to me about the conditions here?"

The voice on the other end of the phone became hysterical: "I didn't even intend to push her to the road at all! She rushed to post it herself! She had to find an excuse to say that a friend she knew was harassed by her some time ago, and asked me to send her off from school Back home, after half a month in private, she slept twice, and she actually fell for me? Xia Yan didn't say anything, Liu Xitong is a fart, she's in trouble, she won't let go of me, Still lied to me that she was pregnant?! Do you have any brains? I rely on... grabbed me on the side of the road, regardless of whether anyone was watching, like a lunatic, I pushed her, and the result She stumbled and fell on the road..."

Jiang Mo shouted at him directly: "Zheng Fei! You'd better make it clear, did you push her into the middle of the road, or did she fall herself?"

Zheng Fei was taken aback, and suddenly stuttered, stammering and quibbling: "No...I pushed...but...how did I know there was a car..."

Jiang Mo was annoyed, "The headlights of a four-ton van take a snapshot of your face, are your eyes just for display?"

Zheng Fei had nothing to say, and his timidity quickly turned into an incompetent roar: "Didn't she die!"

Jiang Mo frowned, took the phone away a little, and glanced at the time when the recording was beating from the corner of his eye: "So, Cheng Ye has seen all these?"

"I have followed Liu Xitong for half a month in the area of ​​Chemical Industry Street. After nine o'clock in the evening, all the old shops have been closed, and all the people who come out to play are on Donglin West Road. There is no one on the road. I I thought it would be enough to tell the van driver to give a testimony that had nothing to do with the accident, but who would have thought that Cheng Yemao was there?" Zheng Fei sighed impatiently, his voice changed with tension: "I was... a little My son was obsessed with ghosts... I just wanted to follow him to shut him up - I saw him leaving with a ktv lady, and I didn't follow."

Jiang Mo interrupted him, "Do you know that girl from KTV?"

"Just looking at that short skirt... I was worrying about Liu Xitong at the time, so I didn't look at it that carefully." Zheng Fei seemed to be choked up with anger, and the cry was fleeting, "Cheng Ye is really him. Mom is crazy, who knows what he will say or do unexpected things after seeing it, I have always been worried that something went wrong, but when I went back to school, Cheng Ye didn't respond at all-in fact, I was really suspicious when Xia Yan had an accident However, could it be that he intentionally frightened me, but in the end he acted like nothing happened... I thought there was no extra accident, and it was inconvenient to reveal it at school, so I went to Chemical Street several times to find it. He made it clear that if you spend a little more money at worst, you police can charge money to do things, what does he have..."

Jiang Mo snorted coldly, but didn't speak. Zheng Fei seemed to have vaguely sensed something was wrong, so he closed his mouth timidly, and was urged to finish his sentence.

"Then I found out... Cheng Ye went home with that young lady during the weekend."

Jiang Mo was silent for a few seconds: "Are you clear this time?"

"I see it clearly. I met him in the entertainment city before. He looks very pure, obedient and obedient. His name is Xiaoqing... I don't know his real name." Zheng Fei swallowed, and said dryly: "That little—that The girl lived on the first floor, and I saw the two of them hugging each other on the balcony. At first, I wanted to take a few photos from a distance and then leave. It was a threat. Then...the camera zoomed in on me Only then did I realize that something was wrong, Cheng Ye was actually beating her, and even took a cup and threw it on her head... I, my scalp was numb at the time, I thought about Xia Yan, and saw this girl again... I just ran away .”

"...a cup." Jiang Mo remembered the lonely couple's cup in the cupboard, and asked in silence for a few seconds, "When did you follow this time?"

"The second day of his birthday, last week... Oh no, it should have been last week, I remember this very clearly." Zheng Fei seemed to be guessing Jiang Mo's tone and attitude, and explained positively: "There are three people in our class. The classmates celebrated their birthdays that week. The teacher bought cakes for them. When cutting the cakes, the monitor was scratched. The cakes were stained with blood and then thrown away. Cheng Ye stood in front of the trash can and looked at them for a long time. People—Officer Jiang, I admire that you don’t want money, but don’t you just want to convict Cheng Ye? It will definitely be useful for me to provide you with this evidence. If he is an adult and uses violence, in case he accidentally beats that woman to death Is it? Wouldn’t that be easier, just look it up here, at worst, make a fake, I can..."

Jiang Mo loosened his frown, listening to Zheng Fei's indiscriminate rhetoric, he didn't even know where to start to reprimand him.She hung up the phone, turned her head and saw Xiao Letian eagerly beckoning to her, and a thunder rumbled down, shaking the little policeman in place.

"Senior sister, I found Cheng Ye."

----

The thunder in the rainstorm was manic and dull.

Gu Xing rested his legs on the desk, and I kept my eyes closed in the wind and rain. He didn't lift his eyelids to take a look until a drowned rat pushed the door open like a cascade.

Xiaomi Lu leaned on the handrail and blinked his eyes that had been soaked by the rain all the way, and retreated to the door wet again, throwing aside the umbrella brought back from the bank with great care, knocked on the door twice before coming in, and took out several layers of plastic bags The wrapped bank statement was handed to Gu Xing.

"Gu Dui, you can only make domestic bills. Foreign accounts can check large amounts of money in and out, but they can't do it today."

"It's enough. It's hard work. I changed my wet clothes and took a shower. Later, I will ask Lao Liu from the cafeteria to cook a pot of ginger soup and send it over."

Gu Xing felt that this kid was so well-behaved and playful, he was not in the same way as his two apprentices who were one-sided and one-sided. He reached out and rubbed the top of Xiaomilu's wet hair, and it blew like a gust of evil wind. Arriving at the director's office, he opened the door and sat down on the leather sofa that Gaoju cherished very much and planned to use for retirement. With a little effort, he intentionally smashed the documents in his hand onto the coffee table with great momentum, and fell out with a "slap" Chi" sounded.

Gao Ju calmly withdrew his hands from the keyboard, withdrew his finger, raised his eyelids, and looked at Gu Xing from the top edge of his reading glasses.

"What the hell is going on?"

"When the bureau was withdrawn and merged before, I told you that the matter of mouse shit should be slowed down. You first said that the reform task from above was urgent and could not be delayed, and then you said that I had nothing to prove, and the involvement was too extensive to have evidence. Now it's okay. Yes, I’ve been saving this for several months, but I’ve caught an item that I didn’t have time to destroy…” Gu Xing crossed his legs and slumped on the sofa: “Old Gao, now the leader of the fourth team of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, Li Qiming, the former deputy head of Fengxi District Bureau, the old problem of blackmailing and eliminating disasters for others has fallen under your nose, do you care?"
