Six accomplices in the case

Thirty-one Stone Bricks (Part 1)

The cold wind that had been blowing for half the night came and went again and again, passing through the dense gray clouds, stirring up a distant and dull hammering thunder, pressing overhead with a "rumbling" sound. The iron sheet on the roof of the warehouse that was insulated and protected from rain was also shaken by the sudden gusts of wind and thunder, making "cracks" and "cracks" incessantly.

Auxiliary police officer Xiao Qi was first confused by the gray wind that suddenly circled and flew at the entrance of the alley. He muttered and repeated Jiang Mo's inference that someone lived here on the night of the crime. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously. Just as she was about to hand the walkie-talkie in her pocket to Jiang Mo and ask if she needed to contact Master Hu, she was frightened by a series of muffled sounds above her head. She squatted up and walked down the steps. The tip of his toe was in the air, and he almost fell to the ground with weak legs, "...the roof of this warehouse was almost blown off by the wind. Officer Jiang, why don't you tell Master Hu -"

As soon as the intercom in Xiao Qi's hand caught Jiang Mo's palm, the series of "clang-clop" sounds were wrapped in an obvious spring thunder that was dying and drifting away, not too far away. nearby. Jiang Mo was stunned for more than half a second. He raised his head and looked towards the second floor of the warehouse where the sound came from. Only then did he see the people on the second floor who were making a fuss and pushing and pushing against the fence window. , vaguely heard a heart-rending "die together" screamed from the crack in the window.

Auxiliary policeman Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment. He grabbed the walkie-talkie and rushed towards the main entrance of the warehouse. He stumbled two steps with his ankle twisted and was caught up by Jiang Mo. He grabbed his collar and threw him back to the steps of the back door of the bar. He went up and shouted at him without looking back: "Hold the back door and don't move! Call a few people from your institute for support first——"

"Stop screaming! It's okay..."

Jiang Mo was mid-sentence, and the second floor of the warehouse, which had been in a state of uproar a second ago, was completely quiet in the blink of an eye. Officer Hu held the intercom, cleared his throat, turned around and pulled away with a click. He opened the old plastic steel window and waved to the two nervous young people downstairs, "Xiao Jiang'er, do you have any cuffs in your pocket? I just broke them."

"Should I go up or...?" Jiang Mo raised his neck and nodded, "What's the situation, Officer Hu?"

"Don't bother, I'll twist him off right now." Officer Hu turned over his shoulder and reached behind him, hugging a gray-faced man whose lips were bleeding from the fall. He held the back of his head and pressed it against the anti-theft window. He flicked the wire clothesline wrapped around both ends of the railing with his hand, then looked at him shivering tremblingly, snapped his fingers to catch Jiang Mo's eyes, and gestured to the unlucky guy next to him to yell at him but failed to fall down and gnaw on shit. The confused and dusty face raised, "How are you, Jiang'er, does it look familiar?"

"Guo Hefeng, male, 39 years old, wanted on the run for a theft case in Lakeside New City - just took a fruit knife to push and push him, how energetic are you? You even stumbled on yourself halfway, you have the nerve to cry out in pain? "

Officer Hu glanced at the wanted information on the machine, took the handcuffs from Jiang Mo, handcuffed the person to the several-layer anti-theft fence welded on the first floor of the warehouse, then pulled out a roll of toilet paper and put it in his pocket. He was still on the bridge of his nose that was bleeding out. He was watching him baring his teeth and hissing in pain, and pretending to swing a knife, he slashed the knife menacingly against the torn oily skin on his chin. He withdrew his arm and turned to look at Jiang Mo: "Do you remember him, Jiang'er? When you were in school, before Deputy Director Zou and I arrived at the industrial park, this guy was digging his pockets on the street and instead of jumping over the wall to steal money, he was held hostage. You were the one who knocked him down with your schoolbag. If you have other tasks today, I will have someone from the office send him to the city bureau later."

"Not to mention... I didn't recognize it when I investigated the burglary case in Lakeside New City -" Jiang Mo nodded and thanked, and counted forward with his fingers, "I remember that at that time, there were ten people sentenced. Years, right? Not long after you got out of your job, you got a job in Lakeside New City. You went online to escape the list and found a job honestly. Why did you go to the early management? "

"I really... I'm fucking setting you up again... I'm not... little comrade policeman, I've really changed my ways, but... who would have thought that I could make careless friends just by sitting in a cell? I..." Guo Hefeng said goodbye He awkwardly wiped the dirty blood from the plaster on his face with the crumbled toilet paper, spat unhappily, raised his eyelids and saw Officer Hu's eyebrows raised, and quickly changed his words, forcing a smile on his face: "I came back secretly before. Stealing, but if I don’t use the life-saving money, the tip of the knife has never seen blood, right? It was originally renovated well, but because I know that Ma Xuhong, it turns out that I have met with Fang Si and his gang..."      How many decent people can you make friends with in prison?" Officer Hu pulled out a cardboard box for drinking water from a corner next to the back door of the bar, took a bottle of water and stuffed it into Jiang Mo's jacket pocket, "Fang Four? The water is cold, please cover it for a while."

"The owner of a bulk goods store that sells fans." Jiang Mo frowned and looked at Guo Hefeng's slate-grey skin after wiping it clean. He held his wrist, rolled up his sleeves and looked at it a few times, "You're going to go after Ma Xuhong lied to you? How long have you been touching it?”

"I didn't need any injections. I just got in touch with him, and soon the whole city started to be cleaned up... Fang Si found an excuse to ask me for a high price, so the money he normally earns will definitely not be enough... Ma Xuhong said... …over there in Lakeside New Town——”

Guo Hefeng sighed dejectedly, banged the handcuffs hanging on his wrists, and moaned like a chicken, "In the end, Ma Xuhong died in the blink of an eye. I think Fang Si's area has also fallen under the eyes of the police - I Those ten years in prison were really exhausting. I really don’t want to go in again... Moreover, Ma Xuhong is mysterious and secretive all day long. I always feel that his death is not a good death, and I am also afraid of having anything to do with him again. Relationship... Isn't this just picking up the wall-scraping skills I learned there and mixing in the decoration team? They are not formal, and the things the boss uses are low-priced garbage, so they don't check whether there is any identity information. If you have a criminal record, you can do whatever you can, and you can get money quickly, and you can still have some spare money to spend money here and there to relieve your addiction..."

"I was afraid of being spotted by the police, so I deliberately kept the entire decoration team motionless while investigating the incident in the bar." Officer Hu put on his cigarette, weighed the distance between the warehouse and the duty station, and frowned. Together, "When did you get in here?"

"For more than a week, if we register here, we have to pay decoration fees to the neighborhood. Not only is it expensive, but there are still many things to do, so the boss asked us to come in first. We plan to decorate the existing structure and plan the renovation. There wasn't much drilling work on the wall, so the paving and painting stuff was secretly pulled over from Majia Lane, and then the scraps and other materials were pulled out, just dodging the patrolling police cars."

Guo Hefeng was handcuffed and hung at the height of a low window. He stood and squatted for a while, then he simply sat down on the ground with his arms raised, and the jars were broken and shaken. "Yesterday, when you came to investigate and collect evidence, it was really not me." It was because I was afraid that I would be suspected of being a witness, so I secretly took back the pants and socks on the clothesline. The construction boss was afraid of being investigated, so he made us lie there for a whole day and a night. We didn’t see much today. As a police officer, he insisted on urging us to do some trivial tasks, and then - he was caught by Officer Hu..."

Guo Hefeng kowtowed his head against the wall, looked up at the two serious faces in front of him, sniffed and rolled his eyes, "If I cooperate with your investigation, can the burglary case -"

Officer Hu clicked the lighter twice, then kicked the iron wall next to Guo Hefeng's butt. Guo Hefeng suddenly became excited, and the bitch on his lips immediately fell down.

"No! I saw it! The night before yesterday! That car was parked in this alley!"

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
