The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Li Ming deliberately made it clear, "These things will be handed over to the security officers who come to investigate, so that the murderer can be sentenced to a harsher sentence."

Gao Jiancheng hated the person who set the fire and wanted to kill him. "Okay. I'll go get ready right away."

"Sister, Xiao'e, let's take stools and wooden boards to set up a warning area outside the wall to stop pedestrians on the road from walking against our wall."

"We move the stools and you take the boards."

"Go ahead."

Because the street lights in front of the furniture store are high-pressure mercury lamps, they are brighter at night, so people tend to walk on their side.

In fact, the footprints outside the wall are very messy.

Li Ming also tried his best to find evidence, and there was little hope of finding evidence.

He did this to make the matter bigger and tell the surrounding residents what happened openly and openly to avoid spreading random rumors.

The other thing is to deter criminals, which they attach great importance to; of course they have to be caught as soon as possible, otherwise it will only encourage the criminals and will make the criminals continue to commit more serious crimes.

Indeed, as he thought, passers-by, neighbors, etc. gathered around the door and talked about it.

“In the old society, people who wanted to steal business would set fire to other people’s stores.”

"Nowadays, the stores are not owned by us. If the stores owned by public institutions are burned down, it will be useless!"

"I guess it was because the furniture store was doing well, so I wanted to cause some damage."

“Which store’s business is going to be bad these days?”

"It's not a shop that sells food. There are many shops in corners, but the business is not good."

Li Ming took the opportunity to explain the case in detail to the spectators.

He also encouraged everyone to provide clues to solve the case to the police station. The furniture store will reward those who provide useful clues to solve the case with a pennant and two benches.

Putting aside the pennant, two benches cost a lot of money, and wood is in short supply now. The on-site spectators reacted enthusiastically.

The eldest sister Lou Xiaowan quietly said to Lou Xiao'e: "We collected old wood. Could it be those soldiers who did this?"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, "I don't understand either. I'll ask Xiao Ming."

Lou Xiao'e stepped forward and tugged at the corner of Li Ming's clothes, and Lou Xiao'e motioned to come into the courtyard to talk.

Li Ming followed her into the courtyard behind the gate. Naturally, Lou Xiao'e's eldest sister was looking after her outside.

"Do you think it was those soldiers who set the fire?"

"No. If they want to set fire, they will do it openly. There will only be two kinds of people who do this. One is those who dislike us, and the other is those who hate us."

"That's good. I just thought about whether it could be them, and my heart skipped a beat."

Li Ming chuckled and said, "I'll rub it for you."

Lou Xiao'e wanted to be comforted, but unfortunately the time and place were not suitable.

"It's not formal. Jiancheng is still settling accounts in the room, and there are a lot of people outside."

"Isn't someone more exciting?"

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him, "It's important to do business first. Why hasn't Uncle Fu come back yet? It's not far away by riding a tricycle."

"Indeed. It's almost time to come back."

After waiting, Gao Jiancheng's accounts had been settled long ago.

After a while, the store was ready to send people out again, and then Uncle Fu returned to the store on his tricycle.

"There are very few people on duty at the Xinjiekou Police Station now. Those who were on duty just went to maintain order during the meal. They will be able to send people over later."

Li Ming asked: "Has everyone gone to write for inspection?"

"That's what it is," Faubert replied.

Compared to the east of the city where Li Ming usually conducts his main activities.

Educational resources are relatively abundant in the west of the city and Haidian. Many things in the past six months have either happened in Haidian or in the west of the city.

In the central area of ​​​​the activity, the public security in the west side of the city has been greatly affected.

People with the status of Zhang Haiyang and Brother Luo Yun have various small teams and have privately set up places similar to detention centers.

Who is in charge of affairs here in the west of the city depends on the situation and cannot be generalized.

The Xinjiekou Public Security Station was understaffed, so Li Ming wanted to borrow people from other places.

"Jian Jiancheng, you take Uncle Fu to Jiaodaokou by bike, find Director Zhang and the others, and ask Jiaodaokou to help send two people over."

Uncle Fu asked doubtfully: "Is it possible to cross districts like this?"

Li Ming explained: “It definitely wouldn’t work in normal times, now there are no rules everywhere.

My relationship here in the west of the city is relatively close to Shichahai.I haven’t contacted Shichahaina for half a month, and I don’t know what’s going on there for a while.

In the name of the sideline team's office in the east of the city, tell Jiaodaokou about the difficulties in Xinjiekou. Even if they don't send anyone over, they will help contact the west side of the city. "

After listening to his explanation, Fu Bo found that there was still a connection in such a roundabout way, "In the name of the Chengdong Office, this method is good. Then I will set off now."

"I'll push the bike."

Although Gao Jiancheng didn't know the roads and wasn't familiar with the Jiaodaokou Police Station, he was young and strong enough to be a driver, so he could take Uncle Fu with him because it would be faster.

Another moment.

A security officer, Officer Mang, came to the Xinjiekou Public Security Station. This person had also seen Li Ming solve the 'wage robbery' case before, but he didn't know about his promotion to section chief.

Director Mang apologized and said, "Captain Li, I'm really sorry that we came a little late. There is really nothing we can do. Our office is no longer in name only."

Li Ming was surprised: "Is it so serious?"

Director Mang parked his bicycle and said, "Including me, there are only six people working in the institute. There are two in the morning, noon and evening shifts, and one person has to be left to look after the house. If we weren't all working overtime, there would actually be only One can go out and do errands.”

There are still a few people, probably all of whom did not hold positions in the institute.

There is no manpower, and the functions are almost at a standstill. There is no problem in saying that it exists in name only.

The Lou Xiao'e sisters have been out less recently. They usually only visit furniture stores and small courtyards in the west of the city. They have no place to learn about these things. They were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Li Ming talked about the workaround he had just thought of, "I just heard about the manpower shortage of your department. I have arranged for them to go to the Jiaodaokou Police Station in the east of the city to request support. I hope they can gain something."

"Director Zhang and the others still have enough manpower. If they squeeze in a bit, they should be able to send someone over to help." It's all in the same system. Jiaodaokou is very close to here, so it's not surprising that Director Mang understands the situation.

"I have to trouble you to accept the case first. If you catch the person later, it will be easier to punish him."

Director Mang also wanted to get things done as soon as possible, "Let's start registration now."

Li Ming explained: "Comrade Gao Jiancheng, who was looking after the store, went to Jiaodaokou last night and won't be back for a while. This is Director Lou Xiao'e of the Xiangyanghua Brigade's office in Beijing. Let her give you an overview of the situation first. .”

"Hello, Director Lou. Let's talk about the case first." Director Mang felt a little strange. There was a production team and an office director. He didn't know what level he was at.

"Director Mang, why don't we go into the reception room to talk? It will be convenient for you to write down." Lou Xiao'e suggested.

"It's okay. Let's talk here. It's easier for me to understand the situation you described."

Lou Xiao'e repeated what Gao Jiancheng said.

Director Mang frowned and said, "Chief Li, Director Lou, it seems that this case is not easy to solve, right?"

Several people are talking.

Gao Jiancheng and Fu Bo led security guards Zheng Shouxin and Zhao Tianming from the Jiaodaokou Public Security Station to come to help.There are housewife activists in Jiaodaokou during the day and men's security patrols at night. These were all sponsored by Li Mingzai, who also donated a batch of batteries.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Li Ming did not send chickens, ducks, fish, or seafood, he did send a lot of chestnuts and soybeans to the Jiaodaokou Police Station in the name of the Xiangyanghua Sideline Team's office in the east of the city.

Now that the furniture store of the Xiangyanghua Brigade was set on fire, and they came to ask for help, it was inappropriate for the Jiaodaokou Police Station to refuse them completely. They just sent people over to take a look when there was no one in the west of the city.

The principal, Gao Jiancheng, described what happened last night in detail.

The list of heavy losses compiled was also handed over to Manager Mang for safekeeping.

Having listened to Lou Xiao'e's general remarks just now, Director Mang came to a conclusion, "I think this is an arson case. Director Zheng, Director Zhao, what do you think?"

Zheng Shouxin and Zhao Tianming agreed: "We think so too."

"Chief Li, do you think it was an enemy?" Zhao Tianming asked.

When an expert is around, most people will ask questions like this.

In arson, enemies are usually the primary suspects.

Li Ming couldn't think of anyone who would dislike the furniture store, so he motioned to Uncle Fu to reply.

Fubo replied: "When we first moved here, we had a good relationship with the neighbors nearby. We haven't made the neighbors angry in the past two months. They probably won't be so angry that they set fire to it.

It is indeed very likely that an enemy did it, but I haven’t thought of the specific person yet! "

Uncle Fu didn't know how many grudges Li Ming had made outside, so he didn't make any guesses.

Indeed, Li Ming has many enemies!

It's not that he has many enemies, but there are many people who hate him.

Just as Lou Xiao'e didn't want him to continue in the security department, the longer he stayed in the security department, the more trouble he made.

In the steel rolling mill, not to mention the few people he arrested, the number of people he arrested could not be counted on one hand, and there were even more people who were pulled down in early August.

These people will not be submissive to Li Ming. As long as they have the opportunity, they will think of how to bite him to get revenge.

Outside the steel rolling mill, he also had many grievances.

There were quite a few soldiers who were beaten.

There is also the matter of solving crimes and arresting people. It is impossible for every family member to reasonably think that he is just responsible.

The last time buyer Zhang Youlu helped transport wood, the fact that the furniture store had a close relationship with him had already spread privately.

Because there were so many people with grudges and there were so many suspects, Li Ming couldn't tell who did it for a while.

He had already thought about it, and if any familiar presence would come to watch the fun this morning, he would list him as the first suspect.

Zheng Shouxin participated in footprint recognition training last year and also has two brushes for footprints.

"Before I came in just now, I took a look at the courtyard wall outside. You guys usually clean it too clean, and it hasn't rained in the past few days, so I guess you can't get any footprints."

Officer Mang added: "If we don't have evidence, even if the criminal is caught, he will not admit the crime."

"Then let's find witnesses. Let's do the same old thing, start with the nearby residents, right?" Zheng Shouxin said, looking at Section Chief Li, obviously trying to get an idea from Section Chief Li.

Li Ming smiled and said: "We have just issued a reward for two benches. Everyone nearby should already know about this. I'm afraid there are too many clues and you don't have enough manpower."

Without rewards, many people would take the initiative to report anomalies.

Now there are good rewards, and the person and content of the report must be gone.

This is indeed the case, there is an endless stream of people coming to the door.

A bunch of invalid information, but the three security guards had no complaints. They were already used to it.

The Lou Xiaoe sisters had never met before, and the two sisters whispered to each other.

"Why are they talking about something that happened several days ago?"

"That's right. If everyone you met in the bathroom a few days ago needs to be investigated, how long will it take to investigate?"

"The key is only a rough description of the appearance. How can anyone investigate this?"

"Why do I feel that this method is not very reliable? Has Xiao Ming investigated cases this way before?"

"In the past, I only listened to Xiao Ming's general story, and I have never seen Xiao Ming investigate the case. However, I feel that Xiao Ming will be more confident this time."

The eldest sister Lou Xiaowan suggested: "Go and ask him now?"

Lou Xiao'e didn't object, "I'll go right away."

Today is Sunday. I have nothing to do. Li Ming is watching Zheng Shouxin and the other three taking questioning notes and learning interviewing skills.

Lou Xiao'e called him aside.

"Have you already felt confident?"

Li Ming asked: "What's going on?"

"It's the real culprit who set the fire."

Li Ming shook his head and said: "No. There is really no such thing. Now I just give priority to suspecting people who hate us. But some people's ideas and practices are extremely weird and cannot be understood by normal people."

Lou Xiao'e didn't understand and asked doubtfully: "What is an extremely weird idea?"

"To take the simplest example, many people in the city have a sense of superiority towards people in the countryside. There is one person who is weird. When he sees that people in the countryside are living a better life than him, he will feel very uncomfortable and do some inexplicable things. matter."

"You mean someone who is jealous of us did it?"

Li Ming denied: "I just said there is such a possibility. There are many weird possibilities, and I don't have any ideas yet.

Collect more clues to see if you can find witnesses.Only when there are witnesses and evidence can the other party be sent to jail. "

"Ok."

Lou Xiao'e conveyed these words to her eldest sister.

The two sisters whispered for a while.

Uncle Fu next to him was very experienced and reminded Lou Xiao'e that she might need to prepare lunch in advance.

When doing anything, logistics is the most important thing.

There was nothing to do with Uncle Fu at the furniture store, so Lou Xiaoe arranged for Uncle Fu to go back to the small courtyard in the west of the city to buy lunch.

No business came to the door in the morning, only people came to report the situation.

The matter of asking for transcripts was busy until after 11 o'clock.

Uncle Fu used a tricycle to carry several food boxes from the small courtyard in the west of the city to the Xinjiekou furniture store.

The people in the furniture store took out several good dishes in succession from the food box.

Zheng Shouxin and Zhao Tianming had seen Section Chief Li's bold style.

Manager Mang saw it for the first time, "This is too rich! The food for this table costs a lot."

Director Lou Xiaoe had previously invited them to work overtime and would solve the lunch problem for the three security guards.

The two parties were polite for a while before agreeing to give food stamps instead of food money.

People are coming from across the district from the east of the city to help, so it's really not appropriate to calculate the food costs.

Manager Mang thought it was commonplace, so he agreed with Zheng Shouxin and Zhao Tianming. Only now did he realize that the banquet was not even so good. (End of chapter)
