deep sin

Chapter 154 Unknown Income
With such doubts in mind, Qin Ruonan and An Changpu arrived at the downstairs of Cui Lidong's rented house on time within the agreed time, and waited for about ten minutes before seeing a middle-aged man rushing over , although the weather was already very cold, he was still sweating because of his haste.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm a little late! Have you been waiting for a long time?" The middle-aged man trotted up to them, ignoring the sweat on his forehead, and handing a cigarette to An Changpu from his pocket. He kept apologizing for being late.

An Changpu declined the cigarettes he handed over, and introduced himself and Qin Ruonan by the way. Although he had already explained his occupation to Cui Lidong's landlord in the previous phone call, the first time we met, the formal self Of course, introductions are inevitable. Cui Lidong’s male landlord also introduced himself. His name is Zhao Yi, and he lives not far from here. Because the old man needs to be taken care of, he moved there and took care of himself. The house is rented out, and the subsidy is used to subsidize the family.

The house that Cui Lidong rented is not far from the barber shop where he works. It is estimated that it only takes about 20 minutes to walk. There is no planned community, just a few old buildings scattered there. The building has only seven floors in total, and the house is on the top floor. It took a little effort for the three of them to go upstairs, because the landlord, Zhao Yi, is middle-aged, and his physical strength is a little weak. , and the breathing became rapid and heavy.

"How long has Cui Lidong been renting your house?" Qin Ruonan asked while Zhao Yi stopped on the sixth floor to catch his breath.

Zhao Yi thought about the month and said, "Yo, it's not too short, it's one year and two months."

"How is he doing with you?"

"Very good! That young man is very good. We have changed many tenants in this house before. We don't want to rent anything if we don't clean up or are in arrears of rent. Xiao Cui is a very good young man. We occasionally Come and have a look, the house is always clean, the rent is never in arrears, and he always takes the initiative to contact me before the day comes." Zhao Yi seemed to appreciate Cui Lidong, "Yes Sometimes when I meet my wife or me outside, he will help us when he sees that we are carrying too many or heavy things. There are not many young people like this these days!"

After Zhao Yi said this, he had almost rested, and continued to walk up. He was afraid of one and a half floors, and came to the seventh floor. He skillfully took out the key to open the door of his house, and politely asked An Chang Pu and Qin Ruonan went in first.

The house is not big, with an old-fashioned structure, a boxy living room, and no windows for lighting. As Zhao Yi mentioned, the inside of the house is tidy and clean, not as messy as a single man's residence in people's conception.

Cui Lidong has very few things. Apart from basic daily necessities, there are not many other sundries in the house. Because Song Chengliang's home is the scene of the first crime where he was killed, Cui Lidong's rental house is not particularly large. Forensic value, An Changpu and Qin Ruonan's goal is the haircut scissors that Cui Lidong regards as treasure.

While they were looking for the pair of scissors, the landlady, Zhao Yi, followed them nervously, not daring to disturb him, but he couldn't hide his curiosity on his face, asking from time to time if he could walk into this room or not. You can touch things in the house with your hands.

Finally, they found the barber scissors in a sorting box in Cui Lidong's bedroom closet. The scissors were stored in a delicate leather case, with only a little silver and white handle exposed. An Changpu took it out from his pocket. After putting on the gloves, Qin Ruonan also took out the evidence bag, and the two of them turned the scissors together with the outer leather case into the evidence bag.

In addition to this pair of scissors, Cui Lidong's hairdressing toolbox was also found in Cui Lidong's bedroom, and there were several fine haircutting scissors that were not kept in it, including right-handed and left-handed ones. Qin Ruonan and An Changpu carefully bagged them and prepared to take them back to the Public Security Bureau.

Although a pair of scissors stained with his blood was found in the community of Song Chengliang's family, but there were no fingerprints left on the scissors, these scissors of Cui Lidong still need to be taken back as evidence and sent to the Criminal Technology Department for further examination .

Their cautious behavior finally made Zhao Yi, who had been silently watching for a long time, notice something was wrong.

"I originally thought that you came here because something happened to Cui Lidong, and I didn't dare to ask, but..." He couldn't help but opened his mouth, "Can I take the liberty to ask, am I wrong? Did he do something wrong?"

"It's not sure yet, we're just doing a routine investigation." An Changpu answered Zhao Yi's question while putting away the scissors that were put in the evidence bag.

Hearing what An Changpu said, Zhao Yi immediately took the part he didn't answer clearly as acquiescence to his own guess, and suddenly became nervous, and opened his mouth several times to ask more details, because An Changpu and Qin Ruonan They were all busy doing things and had no time to pay attention to him, so they had to give up.

"That..." After a while, he finally couldn't help it, and asked aloud, "What did he do?"

"Why are you so convinced that he must have committed something?" Qin Ruonan raised his head impatiently and asked back.

Zhao Yi was taken aback by her question, and raised his hand to point at her and An Changpu: "Even if I'm not a policeman, I've still watched TV dramas! When you policemen find the murder weapon or other important objects, don't look at them. Are they all wearing gloves like this and dare not touch them directly with their hands! Besides, Xiao Cui’s eyes are a little shaky when looking at people, he doesn’t seem to be too dutiful, and I can’t blame me for thinking wildly.”

"Didn't you just say that Cui Lidong is a very nice person, and he pays the rent on time, and he is also warm-hearted." An Changpu turned 180 degrees when he heard what Zhao Yi said, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"Yes, that's what I said, I mean he looks like that on the surface, but people, don't they all know their faces but don't know their hearts! There is nothing contradictory in my words, he is very enthusiastic on the surface Yes, and he has never been in arrears with rent, but this does not conflict with his restless eyes." Zhao Yi defended himself.

An Changpu looked at Qin Ruonan, Qin Ruonan also had a speechless expression, none of them said anything more, silently packed up the things that needed to be brought back to the Public Security Bureau, and then left Cui Lidong's rental house.

Before leaving, Zhao Yi kept asking, if Cui Lidong really committed a crime and went to prison, is the rental contract between him and Cui Lidong still valid? Things were moved from their own house, so An Changpu had no choice but to tell him that they would not disclose anything to the outside world before the matter was concluded. Whether the house lease contract can be terminated before it expires will have to wait for specific details. Once the situation is clear, consult a real estate attorney on your own.

Zhao Yi was obviously not satisfied with An Changpu's answer, but he had no choice but to give up.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Yi, both Qin Ruonan and An Changpu felt a little complicated.

"You said that this person's psychology is really strange enough. He originally said that whoever is so good is so good. Once he thinks that the other party may be harmful to him, or is not a glorious person, he can immediately make a 180-degree turn." An Changpu They drove back to the Public Security Bureau, but fortunately the distance was very short, because they had to rush to send the scissors to the Criminal Technology, and then they had to wait for Song Chengliang's family to come to the Public Security Bureau to claim the body and go through relevant procedures.

"Yeah, it's easy for a person to jump into a mud pit and get covered in mud, but it's not so easy to climb up and wash off all the stains on his body. Even if the mud can be washed off, the smell on his body will still linger. It lasted for a long time." Qin Ruonan also sighed, "It's like dyeing a piece of white cloth black is easy, but bleaching black cloth is a difficult task!"

"Now I understand a little bit why Cui Lidong is worried that if this case is handed over to someone else, he will be preconceived as a suspect, and there is no way to turn around. Look at his landlord, he was a friendly person before, and there is nothing wrong with him. As for the real evidence, there has been such a big change just by catching wind and shadows, let alone those who don’t know Cui Lidong at all, and only see his bad records in the past. I really didn’t have such a strong feeling before, I didn’t expect The power of tinted glasses is so great!"

When they returned to the Public Security Bureau, Song Chengliang's parents hadn't come yet. An Changpu went to deliver the evidence first, and Qin Ruonan and Tian Yang Mo Dou shared what they had learned from their assistance in the investigation.

Under Cheng Feng's instruction, Tian Yang and Mo Dou are also helping An Changpu and Qin Ruonan with some auxiliary work. They have investigated Song Chengliang's income from yesterday afternoon to now, and found that Song Chengliang's work income from the food company It's relatively meager, and the slimming center is much better than his own job, but even if he has two jobs and two incomes, the cost of buying that commercial house still seems a bit overloaded.

So the two of them went to investigate Song Chengliang's bank account again, and found that there would be different amounts of cash deposited in Song Chengliang's bank account from time to time. , These deposits were all deposited into Song Chengliang's account in the form of cash deposits, there was no transfer, and the time was irregular.

"Does Song Chengliang have a third job besides these two jobs?" Qin Ruonan asked in surprise.

Neither Tian Yang nor Mo Dou could answer the question. Judging from what they had so far, it seemed impossible for Song Chengliang to take on another part-time job, no matter in terms of time or energy.

So where did the money come from?
