Chapter 259 Memory

Seeing Huazhang coming back, the tobacco stall owner immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Hey, sir, you're back, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Huazhang glanced at Fan Keqin and said, "Boss Zhao, this is our officer. He has something to ask you."

"Sir, hello, hello." Boss Zhao immediately took out a box of Lucky Strike cigarettes from the counter, opened it without hesitation, handed one over, and said, "Would you like one?"

Then why is he such a dog leg, offering cigarettes when he comes up?In fact, the main reason is that Fan Keqin has a stalwart figure, with a waist and back, and his appearance is too good.In addition, Huazhang just said, "This is our officer." Invisibly giving Boss Zhao a psychological hint, that's why he was so polite.In fact, this is because the other party knows how to be a human being and has been doing business for a long time. He is very smooth in dealing with people.

"Thank you." Fan Keqin was not polite, took the cigarette, lit it on the fire handed over by the other party, and took a puff.

The owner of the shop sent Huazhang and Lian Mingli one by one, and then said, "Sir, why don't you ask about selling newspapers?"

"Yes." Fan Keqin nodded and asked, "Tell me, what did the other party do before the gunshot?"

"Before the gunshot?" Boss Zhao rolled his eyes, thought carefully, and said, "He seems to have dropped some newspapers, and bent down to pick them up."

Fan Keqin immediately paid attention when he heard the words, and asked, "Dropped the newspaper? How did it drop? Did you notice any cars passing by at that time?"

"Yes, there is a car." Boss Zhao nodded and said, "This guy is always holding a small newspaper in his hand. It seems that whenever a car comes, he will take two steps forward. I don't know what he wants Selling the newspaper to the nobleman in the car, or some reason. I saw him like this, and it was a bit funny at first, so I paid more attention to him later. "

Fan Keqin said: "And then? A car came by, and then his newspaper dropped?"

Boss Zhao nodded and said: "That's right. After a car came, this guy took two steps forward, and then a little... he seemed to lose his hand, and the newspaper spilled on the ground. Then this kid started to bend over to pick it up. Newspapers. And then... I remember that not long, just a short while later, the gun went off on the other side."

Fan Keqin said, "How long is it from when he dropped the newspaper to when the gun was fired?"

Boss Zhao said: "It's not long, not long, um... just bend down, pick up two newspapers, and put them in your pocket."

When Fan Keqin heard this, he was basically sure that the newspaper seller must be the assassin's accomplice.But he has a rigorous personality and still asks: "How long is that? A few seconds? A few minutes? Tell me."

When Boss Zhao heard this, he was afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly replied, "Only... about ten seconds? About the same, it really didn't take long."

Fan Keqin said: "Ten seconds? Are you sure?"

Boss Zhao said: "Sure, sure. Just bend down to pick up a newspaper and put it in your pocket, and then the gun goes off. How long will it take? It's only about ten seconds."

"Hmm." Fan Keqin said, "What happened after the gunshot? Have you noticed?"

Boss Zhao nodded and said: "Pay attention, I wanted to go out to check the situation, but I saw that the pedestrians on the road were all looking in the direction of the gun, and they all walked into the buildings on the side of the road as if they were a little scared, so I didn’t dare to go out. After that, I didn’t see the newspaper seller again, maybe he left, or maybe he was afraid or something, so he ran to hide in that shop.”

Fan Keqin took a puff of cigarette and said, "You've been reading the newspaper for so long, you should still remember what it looks like?"

Boss Zhao said: "Remember, it's just across the street, not too far away. If I see him, I'll definitely recognize him."

Fan Keqin was quite satisfied with his answer.This Boss Zhao is not like the lady boss of the payphone some time ago.

Fan Keqin was quite fortunate that he finally met someone with a strong memory, so he asked, "Is there a phone here?"

Boss Zhao pointed inward after hearing the words, and said, "It's right next to it. It's in Li Ji's groceries."

According to his instructions, Fan Keqin did not take two steps. When he reached the grocery counter, he picked up the phone and called the Intelligence Department. Secretary, is the vice seat here?...OK."

Not long after, Qian Jinxun's voice came out through the receiver, saying, "Keqin, are you looking for me?"

Fan Keqin said: "Well, help me to contact my sister-in-law. I will take someone back later, and ask my sister-in-law to help draw a portrait."

Qian Jinxun said: "OK, when will you come back?"

Fan Keqin said: "I asked Lian Mingli to bring the witnesses back first, without delay."

Qian Jinxun said: "Well, I'll call Guo Meng now."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Keqin returned to the entrance of the mall and said, "Boss Zhao, we need your cooperation to describe the appearance of the newspaper seller to our portrait expert. Is it okay?"

Boss Zhao is a typical small businessman, so he was a little embarrassed, and said, "Sir, my cigarette stand...is known by my wife, it's...but it's not good."

Fan Keqin said: "We will testify for you, and if you cooperate well, there will be a bonus, so don't worry. Your business cannot be lost."

"Hey! How can I?" Boss Zhao said, "When shall we leave?"

"Now." Fan Keqin replied, looked at Lian Mingli, and said, "Take Boss Zhao back to the office, and then contact the deputy seat."

Lian Mingli said: "Understood." Then he waved to Boss Zhao and said, "Boss Zhao, please!"

"Don't dare, dare not. Please first." Boss Zhao said, then turned his head and yelled at the counter diagonally opposite: "Old Wang, I'm going out for a while, help me look at the counter."

From the diagonally opposite counter not far away, a person came out and said: "Understood, invite me to smoke later."

"Understood." Boss Zhao replied with a smile, waved his hand towards the door, bent slightly, and said to Lian Ming politely: "Sir, please. Please."

Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang also walked out of the door. Fan Keqin said: "You and Wang Yang will continue to ask with the brothers to see if there are any witnesses. I will go to the back of the bar and look at Jiang Bin's side. Is there any gain?"

"Yes!" Huazhang replied, and then walked to the opposite side.

Fan Keqin turned directly to the buildings behind the bar and walked slowly inside.Finding witnesses is like this. It requires patience and a lot of interview work. In fact, he judged in his heart that the time the assassin escaped was just after six o'clock. At that time, there were still many people off work, so it is impossible that no one saw him. .
