Tiger Police

Chapter 10 Doubt

The community worker assigned to Hu Pingtao as a partner is Wang Zhiming, a chubby young man with a smile on his face all the time.

Strictly speaking, the sub-district office is actually responsible for verifying the information of the migrant population. They count and organize the information, and then submit it to the local police station.But this year was the first time, and the two sides also cooperated. The lunch and dinner of Zhang Jianguo and others were provided by the community, and some extra lunch boxes were added.

Guankou Village has a large area.The community delivered dinner boxes at five o'clock, and Hu Pingtao and Wang Zhiming quickly finished their respective portions and continued the household survey.

The head of household No. 310 in [-] is a pungent woman.Most of the villagers have dinner at six o'clock or even later.Although the village committee had already issued a notice, she was still dissatisfied with the two young people who came to interrupt her meal.

"They're all renters, what's there to find out?" This woman is usually well-known in the village and has never lost a fight.When the village committee gathered in the morning, Hu Pingtao heard her name and house number mentioned by the village party secretary, which was still fresh in her memory.

"I took pictures of the ID cards of those who rented the house, and I passed them to the village chief later. I proved that they are all right. Go, go, go, I'm still eating!" The woman held upside down impatiently. The chopsticks poked Wang Zhiming's arm, as if pushing him away.

Hu Pingtao stepped forward and said seriously: "Sorry, we have to confirm the tenant information, please cooperate with our work."

"Isn't it just an ID card? How else do you cooperate?" The woman was a little annoyed, and raised her volume, which sounded explosive.

Hu Pingtao's tone was calm: "I must make sure that the tenant's identity card information matches."

It has happened before that the landlord randomly found a few photos of the ID card and pretended to report the information of the tenants.On the one hand, it is to save trouble, and on the other hand, the state has increasingly strict control over rental housing. Many people think that rent may be taxed at some point in the future, and they intend to cover up their real income.

"You mean I'm lying to you!" The woman simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, crossed her hands behind her waist, glared at Hu Pingtao fiercely, and cursed: "Make it clear, this is my home."

Hu Pingtao did not argue with him.He turned to Wang Zhiming and said, "Xiao Wang, call the village chief and ask him to come over."

When the village committee gathered in the morning, the village head and branch secretary said: If you encounter similar problems, call them, and they will rush to the scene to deal with them as soon as possible.

In fact, most of the villagers are very cooperative in their work, but there are still very few "thorns".

When the village chief was mentioned, the woman suddenly became dumb.It's not that she is afraid of the village chief, but she said at the village meeting that she asked the villagers to cooperate with the public security organs and the community's home inspection work.If the work is hindered due to personal behavior, then depending on the severity of the circumstances, the villager will be fined and confiscated part of the dividends that should be paid that year.

She gritted her teeth hard, raised her finger unhappily to the diagonally opposite stairs, and said resentfully: "...If you want to find someone, go by yourself."

Immediately, she turned around and wriggled her buttocks back into the house, and closed the door forcefully, making a loud noise.

Hu Pingtao and Wang Zhiming looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and went up the stairs one after the other.

The tenant of [-] is a middle-aged man who works odd jobs in the city.

[-] is a foreign college student who graduated the year before last. He said that his boyfriend works here.

Tenant [-] is a woman who works in a supermarket...

Hu Pingtao looked carefully at each ID card, and Wang Zhiming registered the tenant's name and ID number on the form. They cooperated with each other tacitly and were very polite when talking with the tenant.

After quickly registering the information of the tenants on the second floor, Wang Zhiming walked up the stairs first, and complained to Hu Pingtao who followed behind: "Little cat, this job is actually not difficult, but it takes time and effort. I really don't like it." I understand that the landlord... is what the woman downstairs is thinking. We are obviously helping her solve her troubles, but she blames us and gets angry at us, really..."

Hu Pingtao smiled casually, and persuaded: "Forget it, I want to open up."

"You don't understand. I work in the community window, and I have encountered many similar things." Wang Zhiming shook his head: "Let's just say that the tenant's information is registered! Last year, someone in Guankou Village forged the information, and later it was found out that there was a tenant in his house. The guest is a thief, and he himself was also implicated. You said that if he had been more serious at the beginning and checked the information and reported it, then those things would have nothing to do with him. He just wanted to save trouble, and he ended up getting himself involved Go in...it doesn't deserve it!"

Hu Pingtao shrugged his shoulders: "This is a small probability event. Besides, when renting a house, no one will say that they are bad people."

"That's true!" Wang Zhiming sighed, walked up to the third floor, and knocked on the door of Room [-].

The tenant is a strong man in his 40s.The weather was hot, he was bare-chested, wearing a pair of shorts underneath, flip-flops on his feet, bald head, speaking with a heavy northern accent: "What's the matter with you?"

Wang Zhiming opened the hardcover folder containing the form and said seriously: "I am from the community, please show your ID card, and I will register."

The man's expression was obviously a little hesitant. He stood there without moving, his eyes darted back and forth between Wang Zhiming and Hu Pingtao, and he asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Wang Zhiming explained patiently: "We are counting the renting population information, please cooperate with our work."

The man's reaction was very slow. It took him three seconds before he nodded his head, turned around and walked back into the room, picked up a coat from the bed, took out his ID card from his pocket, and handed it to Wang Zhiming at the door.

Hu Pingtao stood behind Wang Zhiming.He felt that the man's eyes stayed on him most of the time, but he just glanced casually at Wang Zhiming who was in the front.

With a slight movement in his heart, he put his hand into his pocket, touched it twice obviously, and at the same time showed a rather remorseful expression on his face, then reached out and touched Wang Zhiming, who was looking down at the ID card information records, and said with a smile: "Wang Brother, do you have any cigarettes? Give me one. I left mine in the car."

Wang Zhiming stopped what he was doing, turned around, and suddenly Hu Pingtao pressed his wrist hard, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and it was obviously teasing: "You just bought a pack of "Yuxi" in the morning, hurry up and get it!" Come out, I'm addicted to smoking."

With his back turned to the man, Wang Zhiming was surprised to see Hu Pingtao who was taller than him.

It was the first day he met this young auxiliary policeman.If it weren't for the intersection of work in the morning, they would still be strangers to each other.

Although the contact time is not long, he knows that Hu Pingtao does not smoke.

Wang Zhiming does have a pack of "Yuxi" in his pocket, and he is used to taking one after meals.When we got together for a work meal at noon, he took it out and took it out for a walk, but Hu Pingtao refused at that time.

"Little cat, you..."

Before Wang Zhiming could finish speaking, Hu Pingtao unceremoniously reached into his coat pocket, took out the half-smoked pack of "Yuxi", opened the hard cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and took out another cigarette. Lighter inside.

Plastic lighters are cheap and convenient, and many people prefer to pack their lighters in half-empty cigarette packs.Wang Zhiming also has this habit. Hu Pingtao's observation skills are very keen, and the series of movements from begging to directly taking cigarettes are smooth and natural.

He stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, flipped the lighter to light it, and took a deep breath. He held the smoke in his mouth, controlled his tongue and breathing, and sprayed the smoke out of his nostrils. It looked like he was smoking, but it was actually a common name. "Smoke fake cigarettes".

Hu Pingtao is indeed not addicted to cigarettes, but he knows the feeling of smoking.From high school to college, it is the most rebellious period for boys.The more things are forbidden by parents and teachers, the more I want to try.Many boys have had the experience of smoking secretly at this stage, purely out of curiosity.

He put the cigarette case in his pocket, without any intention of returning it to Wang Zhiming, and said with a playful smile, "Brother Wang, hurry up and register! Hurry up and finish work early, let's have a barbecue and get some beer."

The topic changed quickly, and Wang Zhiming was very uncomfortable with this kind of jumping thinking: "That...you are not going back to the police station?"

Although Hu Pingtao turned his body half sideways, he kept paying attention to the strong man standing at the door of the room from the corner of his eyes.

When Wang Zhiming said the word "police station", his right shoulder visibly trembled slightly.

Hu Pingtao held a cigarette sideways, with an impatient look on his face.He turned sideways and pointed to the badge on his left arm: "Brother Wang, look clearly, I am an auxiliary policeman, not a policeman. I only get a salary of 2000 yuan a month, and I don't leave work so late... This is not done by humans at all. Work... Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's talk about it later when we drink."

Wang Zhiming was confused by his weird remarks. Although he was full of doubts, he knew that now was not the time to ask questions.He turned around silently, looked at the ID card that the man took out, and neatly wrote down the words "Li Zesheng" and the corresponding number on the form.

After finishing all this, Wang Zhiming returned the ID card to the man.

Hu Pingtao had already turned to leave and knocked on the door next door.

There are six rooms on this floor, and the work process is exactly the same, all of which require tenants to show their ID cards and then register.

Hu Pingtao held the phone in his hand, his back was facing Room [-], the black phone screen was a smooth mirror.There is no public electric light in the corridor. Of course, it is impossible to see a clear image through mirror reflection in such a dark environment, but you can see a thin orange light in the middle of the phone screen.

The door of [-]'s room was not closed from the beginning to the end, and the man named "Li Zesheng" left a gap.The lights in his room were on, in stark contrast to the darkness in the corridor outside.

After registering the tenant information of the last room on the third floor, the two went up the stairs to the fourth floor.When he stepped up the steps, Hu Pingtao glanced at [-] and found that the gap between the doors was narrower than before.

After going around the whole building, coming down from upstairs, and passing by the door of [-] again, Hu Pingtao deliberately loudly said: "Finally, it's over. Brother Wang, let's go drink."

On the first floor, I wanted to say hello to the landlady, but her door was closed, and she obviously didn't want to pay attention.

When they came outside, Hu Pingtao led Wang Zhiming to the south along the alley. Right in front of him was a lively night market with bright lights and crowds.

Wang Zhiming was full of curiosity, and asked as he walked: "Little cat, why did you suddenly ask me for cigarettes just now?"

Hu Pingtao didn't dare to turn around, the angle was just facing the window of Room [-].He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wang, let's go around from the front, and I'll explain to you later."

The two walked to the intersection, turned left and walked more than 100 meters. Hu Pingtao took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the duty room of the Eryuan Road Police Station: "Hello, brother Li? I'm Hu Pingtao."

The policemen on duty in the station are all officially staffed. Today it is Li Side's turn, and his voice comes out of the microphone: "Little cat? What's the matter?"

"Brother Li, please take the fifth photo on the notice wall in the office from the second row from the left and send it to me." Hu Pingtao did not hide it: "I found a person who looks like a wanted target here." , let me compare."

When Li Side heard it, he immediately became nervous: "Really?"

"The degree of similarity is very high." Hu Pingtao did not finish his sentence.

"You wait, I'll go over and take a picture, and send it to you on WeChat."

Soon, Hu Pingtao received the wanted photos from Li Side.

He zoomed in on the photo on the phone screen and looked at it carefully.

Wang Zhiming came over from the side. He looked at the photo and frowned: "Little cat, did you miss it? This photo is different from the person on the third floor! The difference is too great."

He still had a fresh memory of the man named "Li Zesheng" in room [-]: bald head, habitually squinting eyes, and sunken cheeks, giving people a capable look.

The wanted criminal in the photo has thick hair, and although his cheekbones are also prominent, he is a bit fat, far less thin than Li Zesheng.

Hu Pingtao didn't answer. He stared at the phone screen for a long time, his brain thinking quickly, and finally came to an accurate conclusion.

"That's right, it's this person."

He then called Zhang Jianguo and Liao Qiu respectively, and both of them were shocked.Because the situation came so suddenly, it would not be clear on the phone for a while, so Liao Qiu asked Hu Pingtao to go to the village committee immediately and meet there.

About half an hour later, Zhang Jianguo and Liao Qiu came to the village committee, and while looking at the wanted photos sent by Hu Pingtao's mobile phone, they listened to his narration.

Zhang Jianguo asked suspiciously: "Little cat, why do you pay special attention to this person?"

Hu Pingtao pulled Wang Zhiming, and the two stood in the same order and position at the door of [-]: "When he opened the door, I didn't say anything, and Brother Wang was in front of me. According to the normal reaction of ordinary people, it must be It is to focus most of the attention on the leader, that is, the speaker. But the other party has been observing me from opening the door to taking out the ID card, and every time the eyes come into contact with me, they will quickly shift to Brother Wang It's like a subconscious behavior."

Liao Qiu asked thoughtfully: "Because you are wearing the uniform of the auxiliary police?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "This should be the most reasonable explanation."
