Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 165 Accidental Death (5)
"Is there a shop in the market that sells knotted boards?"

The boss thought for a while and said: "Oh, there is a shop that specializes in buying this kind of wood. After the boss buys the boards with knots, he saws off the knots and processes them into boards of different sizes and lengths, and then sells them. It’s profitable, but most stores don’t do this kind of thing because it’s troublesome and the profits are thin. Only bosses with small funds do it, so we all sell knotted boards to this boss.”

"Aren't you selling directly to customers?"

"It's very rare. I'm not in the store every day, so I can't be sure. Only the store clerk knows."

Jiang Yiming asked the boss to call his clerk. After a moment, the clerk came in.The clerk said that all the knotty boards in his shop were sold to Chen Kee Lumber Store.Jiang Yiming asked him where Chen Ji's store was?He said it was shop No. 3012 in the third row in front.

After hearing this, Jiang Yiming said goodbye to the boss and came to store No. 3212. Jiang Yiming explained the purpose of his visit. The boss was processing wooden boards. After knowing that they were policemen, he put down his work and accepted their questioning.

Boss Chen said: Very few customers would buy wooden boards with knots. Most people came to buy processed boards. More than a month ago, right?A customer came to my shop and asked for knotty pine boards.I found it strange that he said he was a carpenter and was going to make a set of furniture according to his own design.He asked me how to sell knotted boards?He wanted 50 yuan at a time and asked me to give him a discount.I raised the price quite a bit.He said the price was almost the same as normal boards.Seeing that he was an expert, I lowered the price, and finally we settled the deal at 40 yuan per piece.However, he always chooses wide and knotty boards to take away.

"What vehicle did he use to transport the planks?"

"A beat-up tricycle."

"When will he come? Can you remember the specific date?"

"We keep accounts for every transaction. I opened it in partnership with a friend."

"Very well, show us the transaction records."

Boss Chen stood up, walked to the counter, took out a large notebook, flipped through the day's shipment records and said: "It was the evening of September 9th."

Jiang Yiming glanced at Xiao Ke, his eyes sparkling with excitement. Xiao Ke took the record book and looked at it again and again. He felt that this should be the original transaction record, with no traces of changes, because the handwriting in the entire article was the same, and some Suspects often secretly change the time of transactions in order to prove their alibi.

They came to the gate of the market and saw monitors installed on the left and right poles. So they went to the market management department, found the manager, and asked to see the surveillance video from the afternoon of September 2013, 9. The manager did not dare to shirk the responsibility. Call the security captain and take them to the surveillance room to check the video.

Because the time provided by Boss Chen was accurate, they went straight to the point and quickly found everyone who entered and exited the market during that period.

Sure enough, the suspect riding a tricycle appeared in the picture: This person was wearing a wide peaked cap on his head and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. Because the light was bright at the time, although the suspect was disguised, it could be judged that Show the general outline of his body, clothes, shoes and face.

After they watched it, they copied the video to a USB flash drive and brought it back to the criminal police team.

Wu Jiang and Lu Yingying returned to the team. They questioned more than a dozen people who were present before and after Zhou Shan fell, but no problems were found.I was very excited to see Jiang Yiming and Xiao Ke bringing back priceless videos.

Lu Yingying took a screenshot of the video and then processed it. The suspect's appearance became clearer.The suspect is of medium build, has a slender face, dark skin, a pointed chin, and thick lips. He is wearing a fake Nike T-shirt and gray jeans. He is between 28 and 35 years old. He rides a tricycle with very strong legs, as if he has been engaged in physical labor all year round. By.He wears a string of Buddhist beads on his left hand, which are as black as coal... With these characteristics, it is easy to handle.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yiming was called to a meeting by the city bureau. Wu Jiang and Lu Yingying came to the 24th Middle School construction site again to find Chi Yang and gave him the screenshot of the suspect. Chi Yang looked at it for a while and said: "This person should be Gong Xiaowang... What's up with him?"

"Where is he now?"

"He was our plasterer. He was also laying bricks on the seventh floor at the time. He saw my brother-in-law fall from the building with his own eyes, but..." "But what?"

"He quit his job the day before yesterday. He said that it is unlucky for people to die on our construction site, and if it doesn't work, people will die again."

"Where does he live? Take us to see where he lives."

"I don't know. Our workers either live in work tents or rent their own houses. He said he has a wife and children and it's not convenient for him to live in work tents, so he lives outside."

Wu Jiang realized that Gong Xiaowang had escaped and it was impossible to catch him in a short period of time. They called all Gong Xiaowang's workers and questioned them one by one, but everyone said that Gong Xiaowang was relatively lonely. , never takes his coworkers to his home, so no one knows where he lives.

A co-worker once joked to him: Xiaowang, why do you never see your wife and children coming to see you?Will your wife have an affair with someone else?Otherwise, why would I never care about you?Gong Xiaowang was neither annoyed nor angry, and responded to the ridicule of his coworkers with a smile and silence.

Gong Xiaowang is a person who is capable of big things, has a broad mind, and disdains fighting with others, which is consistent with the characteristics of the suspect.Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke returned to the team and reported the situation to Jiang Yiming.Jiang Yiming was not in a hurry. He said that Gong Xiaowang would be captured sooner or later, and he told them to rest assured.

6. Arrest and bring to justice

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke came to the construction site of No. 24 Middle School, pulled out the video of Gong Xiaowang leaving the construction site on the day he resigned, and followed his way back to find the surveillance video. Although this was a relatively heavy workload, it was the fastest shortcut.Wu Jiang told Jiang Yiming his idea, and Jiang Yiming appreciated his idea.Ask him if he wants to send more police to assist them.Wu Jiang said no.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke came to the traffic monitoring center and spent a whole morning finding Gong Xiaowang's driving route on the day he resigned.It turned out that after Gong Xiaowang resigned, he rode a bicycle from the construction site, passing through five crossroads and seven intersections, a total of about 10 kilometers, and finally disappeared in Yangjia Village. Because there were no intersections and personal monitors in Yangjia Village. Under unified management, it would take many days to check the video separately. Wu Jiang was afraid that by the time he found Gong Xiaowang's residence, he had already escaped, so he had to find a faster way.

Yangjia Village is located in the southwest of the city, far away from the city center. One-third of the houses there are dilapidated bungalows. The monthly rent is about 100 to 200 yuan. The residents are migrant workers, garbage collectors, unemployed people, etc. , the terrain is complex, security conditions are poor, and law and order is very chaotic. Gamblers, street girls, and drug addicts often hang out here. It is a headache for the security police.

We must race against time to find Gong Xiaowang. If he is allowed to escape abroad, it will be difficult to retrieve him.They quickly rushed to Yangjia Village and found the police from the local police station to inquire about Gong Xiaowang's residence. The household registration police could not find Gong Xiaowang in the temporary resident registration system. This was natural. It was impossible for Gong Xiaowang to leave any evidence at the police station.

Wu Jiang pulled out the screenshot of Gong Xiaowang on his mobile phone, printed it out with a color laser printer, handed it to each policeman, and asked them to work in pairs to find Gong Xiaowang.In order to cover the search area in a larger area, the director arranged for each policeman to take the lead, with the cooperation of the assisting police and joint defense team members, and divided them into 20 groups to visit house by house.

Yangjiacun is a medium-sized village with more than 1300 local households, but there are more outsiders than locals. It is not easy to find Gong Xiaowang among the more than 1 people.But they were lucky. After the police went out to search for a while, the director called Wujiang and said that one of the joint defense team members knew Gong Xiaowang and knew his address.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke rushed to meet with the director, who introduced Wu Jiang to the joint defense team members who knew Gong Xiaowang.His name is Wang Guolin, from Yangjia Village. He has met Gong Xiaowang two or three times and said that Gong Xiaowang lives at No. 102 Datong Lane.Wu Jiang asked Wang Guolin to lead the way and rushed to Gong Xiaowang's rental house.

Wang Guolin said that No. 102 is a bungalow with a small yard and covers an area of ​​about 100 square meters. The yard and the house each occupy half of the area. There is a living room and a bedroom in the house. It is juxtaposed with a row of dilapidated bungalows behind the house. It's Xiaoyu Island, and the courtyard door is closed.There is a small door behind the house leading to Xiaoyu Island.

In order to prevent Gong Xiaowang from escaping through the back door, Wu Jiang arranged for Xiao Ke and the director to take a long detour and quietly reach the back door. After Xiao Ke arrived at the destination, he sent a message to Wu Jiang, saying that they were ready. Gong Xiaowang's back door was closed. , the windows were closed, and thick curtains were drawn, so that the situation inside the house could not be seen.Wu Jiang sent a message back, telling them to pay attention to concealment and safety.

Wu Jiang and Wang Guolin approached the yard slowly like passers-by taking a walk. When they reached the door of the yard, Wu Jiang pushed the door with his hand and it was locked. Wu Jiang was worried that Gong Xiaowang had a gun, so he took out his pistol and loaded the bullet. He turned on the safety and signaled Wang Guolin to call the door.

Wang Guolin understood and shouted towards the yard: "Is anyone at home? We from the village committee are here to register the temporary residents. We have met several times and had drinks together - can you please open the door?"

It was Wu Jiang who told him to call him that. Gong Xiaowang has a particularly good drinking capacity. Ever since Gong Xiaowang went to work at the 24th Middle School construction site, he invited his workers to drink cheap liquor almost every night, and often got them drunk so that they could He felt weak at work the next day. In fact, this was Gong Xiaowang's conspiracy, because only by asking the workers to work less hard could Zhou Shan notice it, thereby inducing Zhou Shan to build scaffolding on the seventh floor, and then Zhou Shan fell to his death. All the co-workers were taken advantage of by him, Gong Xiaowang was very thoughtful!
