Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 996 Death of the Scavenger (3)
The person Ma Er received and called the most was a man named Ye Hao. Jiang Yiming was going to talk to him, so he entered Ye Hao's mobile phone number into the dial pad of his mobile phone and dialed. After the phone rang three times, someone was there. received.

"Hello, are you Ye Hao?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"Yes, who are you? Do you want to sell scraps?" The other party's voice was a little hoarse, and he coughed, maybe he had a cold.

"Sorry, I'm not a scrap dealer. I'm from the criminal police team of the city bureau. We want to find out about the situation from you. Where are you now?"

"I'm at the purchasing station. It's at the end of Hongfu Road. It's only 100 meters away."

"Okay, I know where it is. Please don't leave. We will go find you right away."

The other party hung up the phone without answering. Apparently he didn't welcome the police calling on him.

Hongfu Road is located at the junction of Jiangxi District and Jiangnan District. It is a small road located on the southeast side of Laishan.Zhou Ting drove and Jiang Yiming toward Hongfu Road.Today is another hot day, with the temperature as high as 37 degrees. Such hot weather is rarely seen in Yangtze City, because the sea water will absorb part of the city's heat.

Zhou Ting drove the car to the end of Hongfu Road. There was a dirt road in front of him. He felt strange that the scrap collection station was located in such a remote place. It was too inconvenient.He continued to drive 100 meters forward and saw the purchasing station. After opening the car door, he smelled a faint odor. Only then did he understand why the purchasing station was built here, because it must be located in a crowded place. People will complain.

Zhou Ting saw a man sitting behind the glass door, drinking Kung Fu tea leisurely. After seeing the two of them, he seemed not to have seen them. He was still sitting on the wooden chair, chatting with a young woman with a bright smile. Of course he knew that they were city workers. From the criminal police team of the bureau.

Zhou Ting pushed open the door and walked in. A wave of air-conditioning hit him, which was very refreshing.Zhou Ting walked up and asked: "Excuse me, are you Ye? We are from the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Bureau. This is my ID. This is our Team Jiang." He handed him the police officer ID card.

After seeing it, Ye Hao came to his senses and felt that he should not neglect them, because they were not only criminal policemen, but also at a high level. If he offended them, they would cause trouble, so He stood up and shook hands with them: "Welcome to the two police officers. Please sit down and have a cup of tea. It is not easy to handle cases outside on this hot day."

"Boss Ye, you have a guest, so I'll leave first." The young woman stood up, took a look at Ye Hao, and left. A smell of perfume wafted from her body.Ye Hao nodded and watched her walk out of the door with a bit of reluctance in his eyes.

Ye Hao is of medium height, about 168 centimeters, and as thin as a bamboo pole, as if it will break if blown by strong wind.His facial features are fairly regular, the bridge of his nose is quite high, his complexion is fair, his mouth is big, and his big eyes are bright. You can tell at a glance that he is a shrewd businessman.

"We want to know about Ma Er's situation from you. Please cooperate with our work and tell us the truth." Jiang Yiming took the tea cup from him and took a sip of tea.

"Oh, okay, I will definitely cooperate with your work. What do you want to know about Ma Er?"

"Ma Er was killed in a rental house. We are here for his case. When was the last time you saw him?"

"I don't remember the specific day. He always comes to my place to sell scraps. After selling, he takes the money back."

"You should have an invoice for purchasing scraps, right?"

"Yes, there is an invoice. I have to look at the invoice to know when he will come to sell scraps. I will get the invoice to show you." He stood up and walked to the desk in front of him. After walking behind the desk, he stretched out his hand and opened the right side of the invoice. He took out an invoice book from the top drawer, returned to the coffee table, opened the invoice book and looked at it for a while, then found Ma Er's name and said, "Look, Ma Er came to sell scrap products on the evening of July 7." .”

Jiang Yiming took the invoice book he handed over, looked at it and said, "Have you never seen him again since that day?"

"Yes."

"You just said that after he sold the scraps, he took the money back. Why don't you pay him by transfer instead of paying by cash? For example, use Alipay..." Jiang Yiming suddenly stopped at this point. Yes, because Ma Er didn’t use a smartphone and couldn’t use WeChat or Alipay.

"Lao Ma is a bit weird. He is the only one like him. Others use WeChat or Alipay to collect money, but he insists on collecting cash. Because of this, I don't want to do his business. But one thing he is good about is that he knows how to do it. He brought tea from his hometown to me. The tea is very fragrant, so of course I would be embarrassed to reject his waste products."

"Have you been to his house?" Jiang Yiming thought for a moment and asked. "He invited me to visit his home, but I declined. However, I am from this city and know that he lives in Xi'ao of Liudun Village, and I went there a few years ago."

"So every time he sells scraps, he brings them to his door, not you who come to buy them?"

"Yes, although I have two horsemen who are responsible for the door-to-door purchase business, I have never been to his house because he has an old tricycle, so he always delivers the scraps, so that he will earn 10 yuan more Money, Ma Er regards money as more important than life, there are too few such people."

"How much money can he make in a month?"

"Over 5000 yuan, very few waste pickers I know can match his income. He works at least 14 hours a day. Apart from eating and sleeping, he just scavenges. He is reluctant to buy an old TV worth a few hundred yuan." , You are really stingy. Why do you want to be so diligent and frugal? If you are not making money for enjoyment, why do you have to work so hard?" Ye Hao shook his head, feeling that Ma Er was unreasonable.

"I heard Lei Mingshu say that he spent most of the money on his wife's medical treatment. Ma Er attaches too much importance to feelings and family ties. This kind of person is rare. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and there is nothing he can do... You Who do you think killed him?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"Ma Er is an introverted man who rarely talks to me about his inner thoughts. However, one day, he came to my place to sell scraps while I was having dinner. I knew he liked drinking, so I invited him to drink with me. He was happy. It was like finding gold. He sat down and drank with me happily.

"I called the restaurant waiter to bring two bowls of food and drank slowly with him. What we drank was 52-degree Xijiu. The wholesale price of this wine is 300 yuan a bottle. After drinking two glasses, he was full of praise. He said that he had never drunk such good wine in his life. In fact, this wine was very ordinary, considered to be a mid-range liquor.

"While drinking, I suddenly noticed a bruise on his forehead. I felt strange and asked him what happened? He said he saw a wallet on the road a few days ago and he was about to run up to pick it up. At that time, a scavenger named Zhan Liang also reached out to pick it up.

"In the end, Ma Er picked up the wallet first. Zhan Liang didn't say anything, and punched Ma Er on the forehead. Ma Er was caught off guard and was hit hard by him, so his forehead was black. He was very angry and immediately The two fought back, and the two of them fought because Ma Er was taller and stronger. In the end, Zhan Liang was knocked to the ground by Ma Er.

"The wallet was snatched by Ma Er, but there was only 300 yuan in the wallet, but Ma Er was still excited. When he turned to leave, Zhan Liang pointed at his back and shouted angrily: 'Ma Er, wait. Come on, I will definitely let you die a miserable death, otherwise I will not be a human being.' Ma Er was not afraid, he said that Zhan Liang was just a barking dog and had no guts to kill anyone."

"Do you know Zhanliang?"

"I know him. He is also my client. He lives in Tonghe Village. You have to ask my horseman to know the specific location."

"Do you have his cell phone number?"

"Yes, I'll call it for you." He reached out and picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table. After unlocking it, he called up Zhanliang's mobile phone number from the address book, and then handed the phone to Jiang Yiming to see.

Jiang Yiming entered Zhanliang's mobile phone number into his mobile phone, saved it, and returned the phone to Ye Hao: "Excuse me, where are you from 7 pm to 3 pm on the 9th of this month? What are you doing?"

"Let me think about it...I must have been working at the acquisition station that afternoon. I usually get off work at 7pm. After work, I drive home for dinner. Why do you ask this? Do you think of me as a murderer?" He said with a look on his face. It's a bit ugly, but more of an uneasy feeling. I feel like I'm being suspected by the police for no reason, and I feel really bad.

"I'm sorry, we have to investigate everyone who has anything to do with Ma Er... Who can prove that you were at work? And who can prove that you went home after get off work?"

"The valuable scraps at my collection station are often stolen, such as copper wires, so I installed four monitors around it. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance videos. Also, I live in Guanghua Community, where The surveillance facilities are very complete, you can check it out, the surveillance video can prove that I didn’t lie.”

"Okay, bring up the surveillance video and let us check it."

Ye Hao picked up his mobile phone again, called up the surveillance video at that time, found the time slot in the afternoon of August 8, and played it for Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting to watch.Jiang Yiming felt that watching the surveillance video was time-consuming, so he might as well copy it to his mobile phone and give it to Lu Yingying and the others to watch, because there were seven people in the visual investigation team who were specifically responsible for viewing the surveillance video.

So Jiang Yiming copied the surveillance video and sent it to Ye Hao's mobile phone via QQ, and then asked Ye Hao to take off his shoes and let him take pictures.He agreed, so he took off his sneakers and handed them to Jiang Yiming.Jiang Yiming took his shoes and saw that they were only size 39. He immediately felt that the shoe prints extracted from the corner of the scene were not his.
