Tiger Police

Chapter 28 Doubt
Li Ling had heard too much of the word "no".

He doesn't think the mission will change with the addition of a young auxiliary.

Hu Pingtao spoke clearly, and the word "yes" forcibly suppressed the words that had come to Li Ling's lips.

He didn't have any malicious intentions, but just habitually wanted to comfort this young auxiliary policeman from the Eryuan Road Police Station.

Everyone in the anti-drug brigade is not optimistic about Hu Pingtao, thinking that he is just "coming to help with things".

Yes, work, not cases.

"Little Tiger, what did you find?" Li Ling turned around from the driver's seat, his face was full of interest and surprise.

Hu Pingtao fixed his hairstyle with mousse, put on a black fisherman's hat, looked in the mirror and quickly checked whether his image overlapped with the one before, and said casually, "Let's talk about it later."

He opened the car door and jumped down, turned the corner, and on the road not far ahead, He Ping, who returned to take over the makeup on time, came to meet him.Farther behind her, Li Lihong can be seen checking out with the food stall owner.

When He Ping got into the car, Li Ling quickly picked up a hard cardboard partition placed on the seat next to him, and hung it on the rearview mirror.The conditions are limited, and he cannot leave the driver's seat according to the regulations. This method can only be used to avoid embarrassment.

He Ping changed clothes on the back seat, took off her long skirt, put on light gray trousers, added a dark coat, untied her hair tie, and changed her skin color with makeup pigments. Her age suddenly increased by at least ten years. age.

Li Ling's curious voice came from the driver's seat: "He Ping, I heard from Xiaohu that you found something wrong with Li Lihong?"

He Ping, who was wiping off the lipstick on her mouth with a wet tissue, stopped and replied suspiciously: "No! I have been watching her all the way, and I didn't find anything unusual."

Li Ling's tone was a bit strange: "I just asked Xiaohu, and he said yes."

He Ping shook her head and wiped her lips vigorously: "Impossible. Li Lihong got on the bus at the passenger station and ate rice noodles after getting off the bus like the previous few times. It has been like this for several years, and it hasn't changed."

Li Ling held the steering wheel with both hands, looked at Hu Pingtao who was gradually moving away from him through the windshield with sun protection film, and frowned: "Then this kid is deliberately teasing me?"

He Ping's heart skipped a beat. She didn't want to cause conflicts among her colleagues because of this, so she said vaguely, "Maybe Xiaohu has seen some problems. That... don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get back to the team."

Li Ling let out a sullen "hmm".

At this moment, his impression of Hu Pingtao plummeted and he failed.

……

He Ping quickly caught up with Hu Pingtao who followed Li Linhong into the village.There are many people who come to Nanquan Village to play, and they are all unfamiliar faces, and the local villagers have long been familiar with it.

Hu Pingtao sat under a big tree on the side of the road to enjoy the shade.The location here is very good. You can see the closed gate of Li Lihong's old house, and there is a low wall on the side. You have to go close to see his slanted figure.

He Ping walked under the shade of the tree, pretended to appreciate the scenery, and asked in a low voice, "Li Ling said, did you find anything?"

Hu Pingtao maintained a fixed sitting posture, and said in the same low voice: "Yes."

"What did you find?" He Ping was a little surprised.

"Not sure yet, let's talk when we go back." After speaking, Hu Pingtao got up and left, walking north along the village road.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of Li's old house opened. Li Lihong left the house and knocked on the door of the neighbor next door.Half an hour later, she reappeared with a big bag on her back and heavy vegetables in both hands, and walked towards the station at the entrance of the village along the way she came.

The regular return time of the shuttle bus is [-]:[-] pm.

Hu Pingtao and He Ping got into the same car and continued to monitor Li Lihong.

The bus arrived at the passenger station, got off, and Li Lihong took the vegetables and walked towards home.

The day's surveillance is over.

Hu Pingtao scanned a shared bicycle and left.

He Ping walked to a nearby bus stop, got on the bus and took two stops, and when she got off, Li Ling's car had already stopped by the side of the road.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, the office of the anti-drug brigade of the Gudu Public Security Bureau.

Captain Lei Yue and deputy captain Li Guangyi walked into the room, looked at Hu Pingtao, He Ping, and Li Ling who were already waiting there, Lei Yue pulled a folding chair from the side and sat down, casually said: "Tell me Okay, is there anything unusual about the target?"

Neither Lei Yue nor Li Guangyi had any hope for this issue.The routine monitoring of Li Lihong has been going on for several years. Every time this woman returns from her rented house in the city to her old house in the country, just to get food, she is fixed and rigid, never changing.

Rather than asking about surveillance results, it was more of a routine.

He Ping and Li Ling didn't make a sound, and focused their attention on Hu Pingtao in unison.

Seeing this, Lei Yue and Li Guangyi were deeply surprised.

Li Ling spoke first: "Xiaohu said that he has discovered something."

On the way back, he reconfirmed from He Ping that Li Lihong was fine.He Ping also said that she asked Hu Pingtao, and the young man gave the same answer as herself.Although Li Ling didn't quite believe it, his heart was full of curiosity.

In the face of everyone's doubtful and expectant eyes, Hu Pingtao did not play tricks.He said seriously: "I think the clues provided by Li Song are very important. Li Lihong must have a sum of money in his hand, but I can't determine the specific amount."

Lei Yue tried his best to keep his voice calm: "Xiaohu, speak more carefully."

"I got into the car with Sister He this morning. Li Lihong's clothes are fine. I have read the previous surveillance data. The clothes, pants and shoes she wore today appeared 21 times and 26 times respectively in the previous data. and 42 times. This shows that Li Lihong is a person with a very low standard of living."

"Her performance today is the same as before. Both the route and the vegetables she gets from neighbors are the same as before. The only problem is the bowl of rice noodles she ate in the village."

Hearing this, He Ping felt that her mind was full of question marks: "Xiaohu, you and I were at the food stall at the time, and we both ordered rice noodles. I didn't find anything wrong!"

Hu Pingtao looked calm: "Sister He, how much is the bowl of rice noodles you bought?"

He Ping replied: "Ten yuan for the big bowl, nine yuan for the small bowl. I want the big bowl."

Hu Pingtao added: "You even added an imposter."

He Ping nodded: "Yes, add two yuan, a total of 12 yuan."

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Li Lihong also asked for a big bowl, and she also added a two-dollar meatball."

Li Ling, who was sitting next to him, was amused by this: "What does a bowl of rice noodles mean? Xiaohu, this is your so-called problem? I advise you to read more surveillance data! Li Lihong returns to her hometown very regularly. There was no monitoring in the earlier few times, and later they would send people to follow the whole process in advance. Over the years, the monitoring data accumulated in the team has exceeded [-] times at least, and each time the data includes the record of her eating rice noodles in Nanquan Village. If This is what you call "discovery", hehe..."

Li Ling shook his head with a smile, and stopped talking later.He sneered, with undisguised mockery on his face.

Lei Yue quickly raised his hand and made a silent motion to Li Ling: "Don't talk, let me think..."

Li Guangyi asked strangely: "Old Lei, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Lei Yue felt that Hu Pingtao's words inspired him, and faintly felt that he had grasped the main thread of some potential clues.Some inexplicable, unexplainable things that I once ignored flashed past my mind, but I couldn't see what it was.

A bowl of rice noodles for ten yuan, plus two yuan for meat?

Lei Yue frowned tightly, thinking hard but couldn't find the problem, so he could only look up at Hu Pingtao: "Xiaohu, go ahead."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "I have been looking at the materials for the past two days. Li Rongkai's case is a major one, because the amount of drugs seized on the spot is huge, and it has been listed as a national priority. Li Lihong's monitoring is also carried out at the same time. No exaggeration Said, all her information is transparent."

"Li Lihong only had a primary school education and no professional skills. According to the feedback from the bank, Nanquan Village Committee, and the sub-district office, she belongs to the low-income group. Before Li Rongkai was arrested, her monthly income was between 130 and [-]. About, until last month this year, Li Lihong's monthly income was [-] yuan."

"The land left to her by her adoptive parents cannot be bought or sold. The area is small and barren, and the income from farming is far less than what she earns from working in the city. I have calculated that the income balance between Li Lihong and her neighbors is mainly due to the income from renting and growing vegetables. It is due to the special geographical location of Nanquan Village that there is no one nearby to farm for her. Therefore, Li Lihong's behavior in the matter of "taking vegetables" is logical."

"She goes back to her hometown once a month, and the round-trip ticket costs far less than the vegetables she brought back. Li Linhong brought back at least [-] kilograms of vegetables today, mostly potatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, and tomatoes. If you buy them from the vegetable market , even the worst quality vegetables of the same kind cost at least two yuan per kilogram.”

"A few years ago, when investigating Li Rongkai's case, Team Lei, you have already searched Li Lihong's residence in the city and the old house in Nanquan Village according to the law. The information shows that there are no valuable items in her home, and no additions have been made over the years. Furniture. It all fits with her income, and a lot of it goes to her child, her daughter who is in primary school."

"The day before yesterday I went to Li Lihong's cleaning company in casual clothes, pretending to be on business, and chatted with the people there. They all said that Li Lihong was extremely frugal, and lunch consisted of two steamed buns and pickles made by herself. These The food is very cheap, no more than three yuan for a meal."

"There is a deposit of [-] yuan in her bank account. The flow records show that she deposits ranging from [-] to [-] yuan every month. The latest deposit was last month."

"Based on the above information, the problem is very clear: how can a person who is extremely frugal spend 12 yuan to eat a bowl of rice noodles in a small pot? The amount of money she put in the bank, it feels disproportionate."
