Tiger Police

Chapter 31 Consumption Desires
With such serious injuries, this person probably didn't hit him on purpose.

But that didn't mean the anger in her heart disappeared.Li Lihong tightly grasped the rope of the bag, glared fiercely at Hu Pingtao who was sitting on the ground moaning, and felt an inexplicable pleasure in her heart when she walked past him.

What a run!
let you rush!
Such a big wound, feel good now!

deserve it!Let you be rich, let you show off, and let you go to Yuxi to eat eel rice noodles.

After walking several tens of meters, Li Lihong heard a phone call from behind, mixed with lamentation and pain.

"Hey, I can't go. Come pick me up now. I'm injured. I need to go to the hospital to treat the wound first..."

……

More than ten minutes later, Li Ling appeared on the street in an old Santana.Hu Pingtao struggled to stand up, pressed the muscles above the wound with his left hand, shuffled his feet, and walked into the car step by step with Li Ling's support.

"Why are you injured so badly?" Li Ling frowned seeing the wound the size of a palm, "I thought you were talking casually on the phone, but I didn't expect you to be really injured."

He immediately asked with concern: "Go to the hospital first!"

Hu Pingtao shook his head: "Go back to the bureau, go to the infirmary to wash it with hydrogen peroxide, and wrap it with gauze."

Li Ling didn't insist, he turned around and got out of the car, walked around to the front door and sat in the driver's seat, started the engine, controlled the car to turn, and asked expectantly, "Did you find anything?"

Hu Pingtao recalled what happened before, and nodded: "Yes".

This was the second time Li Ling heard the same answer from him.

Unlike last time, Li Ling had no doubts this time, only more expectations.

……

In the afternoon three days later, at the anti-narcotics team's office.

Lei Yue convened a meeting of all members of the temporary group to summarize the information collected during this period.

Looking at Hu Pingtao who had changed into shorts and had gauze wrapped around his knees, Lei Yue showed approval in his eyes: "Little Tiger, are you feeling better?"

"It's okay, it's all scarred." Hu Pingtao replied with a smile.

That fall was intentional.

In order not to disturb the target, Hu Pingtao chose an alternative method.

Check the trash.

"The changes in living conditions are nothing more than the aspects of "clothing, food, housing, and transportation". Based on past and recent monitoring information, Li Lihong's clothing has not changed. Used goods that were recorded years ago. Including her daughter, most of the newly purchased clothes are street stalls, the kind that cost more than ten yuan a piece, very cheap."

"The feedback from the shared bicycle company shows that Li Lihong has never used it. She never takes a taxi when she goes out, and always walks."

"Needless to say where to live, rented houses in urban villages are very cheap. Li Lihong's rented house is not large, because it is not a hotspot, and she pays the rent annually, so the average monthly rent cost is only 420 yuan."

"To sum up, the current information shows that Li Lihong's living standard is very low, and her monthly income is only enough to maintain a balance."

"These are most likely superficial phenomena. The last important direction of investigation is food."

This is what Hu Pingtao said at the group meeting before.For garbage, he has a special opinion.

"Household waste largely reflects the level of quality of life. It is not difficult to understand. Most of the food now has packaging: milk cartons, biscuit bags, cake wrappers, instant noodles, ham sausages... even go to the vegetable market to buy Vegetables, leeks for one yuan, the hawker will give you a plastic bag to put the vegetables in.”

According to Hu Pingtao's arrangement, the temporary team began to set up control points near Li Lihong's rented house.But two days passed, and Li Lihong never threw away the garbage when she went out, and the team members got nothing.

Wang Shuangshuang's monitoring report shows that every morning when she leaves for the morning shift, Li Lihong carries an old snakeskin bag on her back.

Hu Pingtao had a feeling that there might be some secrets that Li Lihong wanted to hide on purpose.

He planned a morning run, pretended to be careless, and knocked down Li Lihong.

Hu Pingtao took advantage of the situation and grabbed Li Lihong's old snakeskin pocket several times when he fell to the ground with pain and intentionally bruised his knee.

There was a hard touch and a familiar outline, the bone of some kind of animal.

Pigs, or cattle and sheep.

There is a clear stabbing feeling, and there is a short neat arrangement, which is fish bones.

The touch of the plastic wrapping paper is rather vague, making it difficult to determine the specific source.

At least one beverage bottle, the kind with a capacity of 550ml.

What excited Hu Pingtao was that he touched a plastic lunch box.This thing is very common in restaurants, and it is made of hard plastic that can be degraded.Because of the high production cost, when customers ask for packing, most restaurant operators will not charge it for free, and ask for an extra dollar.

The entire impact process has been rehearsed many times.Wearing casual clothes, He Ping and Li Ling walked back and forth on the "T"-shaped road many times, calculating the time and walking speed, especially the hard floor tiles on the sidewalk at the exit of the alley.

That area belongs to the old urban area that has been included in the scope of demolition.The infrastructure is aging, with floor tiles warping in at least three places.He Ping specially made a grid-style floor plan for Hu Pingtao's reference and to step on some wrestling.

No one is an omniscient genius.If you want to judge what is in the bag by grasping it through the snakeskin bag, you must receive a lot of training.

Hu Pingtao practiced all day in the anti-drug brigade.He can now accurately distinguish the difference between most common substances, and further judge the objects he grasps through the sense of touch.

Today is a summary discussion.

Wang Shuangshuang is a capable policewoman. She is in charge of monitoring Li Lihong from the early morning to [-]:[-] noon: "On the [-]th, [-]th and [-]th of this month, Li Lihong was on duty in the morning shift. She served from the cleaning company. Stand there to pick up the tools and clean the streets she is in charge of. She will stay at the head of the Linhe Bridge around [-]:[-]. A man delivering goods on an electric scooter met her there. Through surveillance video tracking, we found that That man is a butcher shop operator in a nearby vegetable market. Li Lihong is his regular customer and has been looking for him to buy meat at Qiaotou. The quantity and parts of each purchase are different: hind legs, tenderloin, ribs... Li Lihong uses the agreed method , For example, make an appointment today to buy a catty of ribs the day after tomorrow. The butcher shop owner prepares the goods in advance according to her requirements, and the two parties meet at the agreed time at Qiaotou."

Li Guangyi looked stern: "How long has this situation lasted?"

"One year and four months." Wang Shuangshuang added: "The butcher shop owner once asked Li Lihong why she didn't go to the vegetable market to buy meat. She said it was too far away, and the work of cleaning the streets could not be stopped. this way."

Lei Yue sneered and said, "It's a good excuse, logical...Kong Chengli, tell me what you found."

"I have been in charge of tracking down the whereabouts of Li Lihong's trash every day." Kong Chengli's skin was a bit dark, and he took off his police uniform and put on casual clothes, giving people a simple and honest feeling: "She uses that old snakeskin bag to ship garbage every day." All kinds of waste, when I arrived at the cleaning company, I threw them into the garbage truck. In order not to startle the snake, I hid in the opposite car and took pictures secretly with the camera. Remember the location of the waste, and then follow the garbage truck to the city outside the city. Garbage dump. According to the shape and color of the objects recorded in advance, search them one by one against the pictures... Xiaohu's judgment is very accurate. On the day of the morning run, the garbage Li Lihong threw away included pig bones and fish bones, and a plastic Coke bottle. A plastic lunch box with leftovers."

Li Ling interjected: "Judging from the rubbish and packaging that Li Lihong threw away during this period, she is very willing to spend money on food. There are buns from "Yixingzhai", roast chicken from Fushunju, and bread The egg tarts from the workshop, and the braised lion head that tastes like grandma's... especially the roast chicken from Fushunju, which is a time-honored brand and tastes really good, but the price is also expensive, Li Lihong bought two at a time."

"When she goes to work and sweeps the street, she never carries the snakeskin bag. Instead, she wears a half-new brown backpack. There is a supermarket in the block she is in charge of. Li Lihong often goes shopping. The day before yesterday she bought a large Boxes of imported Belgian chocolates. She was discreet and kept wearing a mask."

Lei Yue frowned and asked, "I bought so much at once, can she and her daughter finish it?"

"That's what I'm going to say next." Kong Chengli sighed: "I've been working part-time as a garbage collector for the past few days, and I followed the garbage truck to the suburbs. Every time I dug out the things that Li Lihong threw away from the pocket of the car, I saw I feel distressed. I won’t talk about the specifics...Here, you can see for yourself.”

With that said, Kong Chengli took out his phone, clicked on the photo page, and handed it to Lei Yue.

There are hundreds of photos, all of which are thrown away food.

Most of the whole box of egg tarts, only [-]/[-] of the grilled fish was eaten, half of the box of "Tianfu Bangbang Chicken", roast chicken with one leg ripped off, stewed pork ribs, unpacked chocolate...

Members of the case handling team had seen these photos before, and Li Guangyi moved closer to Lei Yue, staring intently at the phone screen, with an angry expression gradually showing on his face.

"We didn't monitor her in the right way before." Lei Yue said coldly: "The monitoring time is not long enough. We only pay attention to the superficial things, but ignore Li Lihong's potential consumption desire."

Kong Chengli said: "She bought too many things, all of them were food. I guess when we investigated Li Rongkai's case a few years ago, we searched Li Lihong's rented house in order to find the stolen money, which made her wary. She has been on guard. We never leave the things we bought overnight at home on the same day, even if we can’t finish eating, we have to throw them away.”

"She doesn't dare to throw garbage openly, as long as she pays a little attention, she knows that she has a problem. So she takes the garbage to the cleaning company every morning in a snakeskin bag and throws it directly into the garbage truck. This way, the intermediate loading process is eliminated. It also reduces the chance of exposure."

"How about that joke: When we have money, buy two bowls of soy milk, drink one bowl, and pour another bowl."
