【The Mystery of the Construction Site-08】

Zhao Xuemei ran back to the dormitory and lay on the bed crying. She was out of breath. The female workers nearby ran to comfort her. Yue Xingwen gave Lin Manluo and Qin Lu a wink, and the two immediately followed.

The female worker in the dormitory with her patted her shoulder to comfort her, and asked with concern: "Xuemei, the police didn't embarrass you, right? Why are your eyes swollen from crying?"

Zhao Xuemei choked and said, "I didn't embarrass me, I just asked me about Da Yong."

She sniffed, her eyes were red, and her voice was trembling slightly: "Dayong and I grew up together, our two are neighbors. After his elder brother and sister-in-law died, he went out to work, worried that Ah Liang was young and would take He spends money indiscriminately, so every month he sends me money to buy school supplies, clothes and snacks for Ah Liang."

Qin Lu said in a low voice, "So, did the police find out that Brother Dayong often sends you money, and then asked you to confirm?"

Zhao Xuemei bit her lip and nodded, her emotions were obviously out of control, and she said while crying, "Brother Yong and I are just like brothers and sisters, I gave all the money that Brother Yong sent me to Ah Liang without moving a single cent. I never thought that Brother Yong would fall downstairs and die after only one month of coming to the construction site! If I knew earlier, I shouldn't have let him come here, it's me who hurt him woo woo!"

a month? This time coincides with the registration time of the Weibo account found by Xingwen.

Lin Manluo and Qin Lu looked at each other, immediately grasped the key point, and asked, "Brother Yong only came to the construction site a month ago? Wasn't he here from the beginning?"

Zhao Xuemei choked up and explained: "He is a cement worker. He was renovating a house for a nearby family. It just finished last month. We are recruiting temporary cement workers at our construction site, so I will let him come here to try. After scoring 280 points in the test, he didn't even get into the college entrance examination, so he took Ah Liang to the construction site to learn his craftsmanship, and the two of them came together."

It is very important that Zhao Dayong and Zhao Liang came to the construction site only last month.

The workers mentioned that when Zhao Liang came, the logistics assigned a dormitory to let him live with a man named Yan Kai. The surnamed Yan was a relative behind Mr. Zhang, and he bullied Xiao Liang every day at the construction site. Xiaoliang had no choice but to go to the building to make a floor.

Lin Manluo was a little puzzled: "Why don't their uncle and nephew live in the same room?"

Zhao Xuemei said: "Because of the construction site where Brother Yong came first, Ah Liang was still in Zhaojia Village at the time, and came two days late. Zhao Anming offered to live with Brother Yong, who has been old and hard since he was a child. Others said that he would live with him. I'm sorry to object, and Zhao Anming is a fellow from us, and they both know each other."

Lin Manluo said: "In other words, after Brother Yong came to the construction site, Zhao Anming took the initiative to make Brother Yong a roommate, so when Ah Liang came, there was only one dormitory left, and he could only live with Yan Kai?"

Zhao Xuemei nodded.

The female worker next to him sighed and said, "Xuemei, don't be too sad. There are rumors everywhere on the construction site that Zhao Qiang and Dayong both like you, and the two are jealous of each other. Therefore, Zhao Qiang pushed Dayong downstairs, it must not be this time. Is it right?"

Zhao Xuemei clenched her fists tightly, her face full of shame and anger: "Aqiang and I have met our parents a long time ago, and we are going to get the certificate when we go back to our hometown for the new year. Brother Yong and I are innocent, and it is not my reason for their quarrel! Brother Yong's death, we are all very sad, what does he have to do with Zhao Qiang when he accidentally fell from the upstairs?! Those people are really talking nonsense, and they are not afraid to flash their tongues!"

Qin Lu comforted softly: "Sister Xuemei, of course we trust you."

Lin Manluo said: "By the way, today's construction site has been searched on Weibo, have you seen it?"

Zhao Xuemei took out her phone: "Weibo? Let me take a look."

She opened Weibo in front of everyone, swiped to the homepage, and skillfully entered the keyword "construction site" to search, and she saw a hot search topic #xinyue square construction site worker fell to death#, clicked on the topic, and the number of comments was already there Several tens of thousands.

Zhao Xuemei was stunned for a while, and said, "So many retweets and comments? Brother Yong's photo, was it posted by someone at the construction site?"

She didn't seem to know, and her account did not leave any comments on this Weibo. After clicking on Weibo and seeing the shocking **** photo, she began to cry uncontrollably again.

Lin Manluo and Qin Lu looked at each other, exchanged a few words with them, then turned to leave, and went back to relay the results of the investigation to Yue Xingwen word for word.

At the same time, Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Xiaonian approached Zhao Liang and told Yue Xingwen the results of the inquiry.

Liu Zhaoqing said: "Aliang was summoned by the police because he was the only one in the building at the time of the incident, but the police found the place where Zhao Dayong fell, which was a crane on the seventh floor. Aliang was on the sixth floor at the time, and he was not at the scene. Fingerprints and footprints, plus he has a good relationship with his uncle, and there is no motive for committing the crime, so the suspicion is temporarily ruled out."

Zhang Xiaonian added: "The police also checked his injuries and confirmed that he was beaten by Yan Kai, who was in the same room. Yan Kai was still writing a review at the police station and admitted his mistake, saying that he was drunk that day and was beaten by the child. The snoring woke me up, and when I was upset, I slapped the child twice, and the two reconciled at the police station."

Ke Shaobin held on to his glasses and said, "It seems that I guessed that he was tortured and murdered by his uncle, which can be ruled out."

Yue Xingwen put these new clues in his mind and analyzed: "Zhao Dayong came to the construction site last month, and the registration time of the Weibo account 'Justice' is the same. In other words, the appearance of Zhao Dayong made the murderer I got the idea to expose this and started planning to kill."

Ke Shaobin asked seriously: "Is it possible that Zhao Dayong came to the construction site in September and found that everyone was owed wages, and the workers complained, so he registered this Weibo account himself and wanted to help everyone?"

Yue Xingwen looked back at him: "There are photos of Zhao Dayong's death scene on Weibo, and he can't take photos of his own death and post them online. Of course, if this account was registered after he arrived at the construction site in September, he would The password tells others that it is also possible for the two to conspire." Yue Xingwen paused, "If this is the case, didn't Zhao Dayong know that he would die?"

Jiang Pingce said lightly: "He may have committed suicide."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding students all gasped.

Jiang Pingce went on to say: "There is no trace of the murderer at the scene. The surveillance did not capture any third person other than Zhao Dayong's uncle and nephew entering the building, and there is no clue left by the murderer in the underground passage. , was careful enough to leave no evidence, or - no murderer."

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and said, "If Zhao Dayong committed suicide, then the surveillance did not capture the murderer entering or leaving the building; the underground passage did not leave any traces; the police did not find the fingerprints, hair and other information of the third person at the scene. The relevant personnel were called for questioning, and they were all released due to insufficient evidence... All this can be reasonably explained."

Why can't the traces left by the murderer be found?

Because there is no murderer.

Zhao Dayong climbed up the stairs by himself, jumped down by himself, and caused a series of attention by suicide.

Liu Zhaoqing frowned: "Is it necessary to sacrifice so much to gain attention by committing suicide? He is Zhao Liang's only guardian. If he dies, won't Zhao Liang be an orphan?"

Xu Yishen also said: "I remember Zhao Dayong is only 35 years old this year, right? He was in his prime. After his brother and sister-in-law passed away, he entrusted his only son Zhao Liang to his care. Now Zhao Liang has not been admitted to a good university, and his future is uncertain. He left his nephew to commit suicide. It's not reasonable. If they really conspire to find someone to commit suicide to gain attention, they should find those elderly people who have no relatives at home and can't live for a few years, which is more reasonable, right?"

A 35-year-old young man who has a nephew to take care of and committed suicide by jumping off a building... This is indeed a great sacrifice.

Jiang Pingce said: "Xingwen and I are only proposing a possibility, even if there is only a 1% probability of a rare event, it is still possible."

Yue Xingwen nodded in agreement: "Yes, the analysis should be more comprehensive. Although Zhao Dayong's suicide is not very common sense, it is also possible, and this conclusion can explain all the current doubts. Of course, the murderer was careful enough to erase the traces from the ground. The possibility of escape is even greater.”

He turned his head to look at Ke Shaobin: "Where did the account with the ID name 'Justice' come from, can Ke Shaobin find out?"

Ke Shaobin said: "Weibo registration is a real-name system. Since this person has been planning for a long time, he will definitely not be stupid enough to use his ID card to register. He should have bought a trumpet account. Check the source."

Ke Shaobin turned on the computer, he was already connected to Wifi, opened all the messages in the hot search topic, picked out all the IDs of several top posts saying that the construction site owes money, and looked for their fans, watch list, daily forwarding... Follow the clues, Looking down all the way, I actually found that two of the trumpets were following a marketing account called "Boya Studio".

Ke Shaobin said excitedly, "A studio specializing in selling navy trumpets!"

Yue Xingwen immediately leaned over to look at his computer screen: "Can I find the purchase record?"

Ke Shaobin said: "The studio sells navy accounts, maybe there is an online store that sells accounts." Ke Shaobin pretended to buy navy and chatted privately: "Hello, I want to buy a few Weibo accounts, how do I sell them? ?"

The other party's business is mature, and they send a link directly: "Dear, hello, we have various packages, and there are discounts for buying hundreds of sailors at a time, you can take a look."

is a link to the online store. Ke Shaobin clicked in and saw that its account is very cheap, and there are various gift packages. There are many positive comments in the comments, and there are also some default anonymous comments that "the user did not comment in time".

Ke Shaobin quickly scanned the comment list, found the comments in September, and locked one of the transaction records with his sharp eyes.

——On September 10, the user (Zhao **) gave a good review by default.

This user bought a "new account package", which coincided with the registration time of the Weibo "Justice" that broke the news. He logged into Weibo on the same day, confirmed that the account and password were OK, and then made the payment. By default, he sent a positive review.

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other.

In the Internet age, as long as you have bought something online, there will always be some clues left. Ke Shaobin followed the vine and found the person who bought the account precisely, Zhao **.

Although the two characters after the name were mosaicked, the word "Zhao" was enough to connect him to Zhaojiacun. Clicking on the purchase record of this user Zhao **, I found that he also bought discounted shampoo, soap and other daily necessities online, as well as a few cheap white short sleeves of about 20 yuan.

Yue Xingwen said: "It really has something to do with Zhaojia Village."

Jiang Pingce said: "The surnames are Zhao Qiang, Zhao Xuemei, Zhao Liang, and Zhao Anming. Among them, Zhao Qiang and Zhao Xuemei were taken by the police for questioning. They went out in the early morning to have an affair and were caught by Long Rui who was smoking. Suppose, Long Rui was involved in this matter. It doesn't matter, the alibi of these two people is only credible."

Zhuo Feng immediately said: "I have met Long Rui, a big smoker. His hometown is in the north, and it takes more than 20 hours to take the train from City A. He has a son and a daughter, both of whom are in college. He is an electrician, come out He worked to earn some household income, and when it came to the deceased Zhao Dayong, he said that he was not familiar with him and didn’t say a few words.”

Yue Xingwen said: "He didn't interact with the deceased privately. Therefore, he went out to smoke in the early morning, and he really just woke up in the middle of the night. He was addicted to smoking. As a result, when he went out to smoke, he saw Zhao Xuemei and Zhao Qiang making out, just at this time Zhao Dayong died... ...would it be too coincidental?"

Jiang Pingce said: "It's a bit of a coincidence. But Long Rui's background and origin seem to have nothing to do with Zhaojiacun."

Yue Xingwen said: "If there is no problem with Long Rui, the alibi of Zhao Qiang and Zhao Xuemei is true, at least it shows that they are not directly related to the death case. Zhao Liang, this nephew, has no motive for committing the crime, and the rest of Zhao Anming, squatting there every day. Chatting and gossip with the workers, a lot of information about Zhaojiacun that we have obtained so far comes from his dictation.”

Jiang Pingce reminded: "He has Weibo on his mobile phone, and he is very familiar with various functions of Weibo. Moreover, when Zhao Dayong came to the construction site, Zhao Anming offered to share a room with Zhao Dayong. Is it convenient for him to observe Zhao Dayong's work and rest and living habits?"

Yue Xingwen nodded and said: "Zhao Dayong's roommate is indeed the one who knows Zhao Dayong's whereabouts best. This Zhao Anming, when chatting with the workers yesterday, mentioned that his family owes a lot of debt and urgently needs money. If the salary is not paid, the family will not be able to open the fire. If he kills Zhao Dayong and comes to Bo to pay attention, there is a motive for committing the crime and the conditions for committing the crime."

Roommates can indeed accurately grasp Zhao Dayong's living habits. For example, he likes to get up early at 4 am to go to the construction site.

The room fell silent again.

Who is Zhao ** who bought the Weibo account?

Yue Xingwen wrote down the brand of shampoo that Ke Shaobin found, and said, "Thanks for your hard work, please visit the workers' dormitories to see who uses this brand of shampoo and soap."

Several people split up and went to various dormitories to borrow them under the excuse of "I ran out of shampoo".

But the result is surprising...

The dormitories of all workers on the construction site use the same shampoo and soap.

Zhao Anming attentive recommended: "This is cheap and easy to use, and you can buy it in the supermarket at the door."

Yue Xingwen looked at him with a smile and asked politely, "Brother Zhao, do you know how to shop online? My phone broke a few days ago, can I give you cash so you can buy me a cheap phone? ?"

Zhao Anming: "No problem! How much do you want to buy?"

After he said that, he opened the Taobao purchase page, and Yue Xingwen glanced at his user name.

Yue Xingwen smiled and said, "I don't have enough money in my hand. I'll ask my friend to collect some and give it to you."

Zhao Anming: "Good!"

Yue Xingwen returned to the dormitory, puzzled.

Who is Zhao **? Can you hide so deep?

Whenever they found some clues, they couldn't go any further when they continued to investigate. Originally, Zhao Anming's suspicion was the biggest, but his Taobao account name was not Zhao **, and the clues such as shampoo and soap were also broken.

This person is like a hazy fog, clearly by his side, but unable to grasp it accurately.

...

【The Mystery of the Construction Site-09】

Yue Xingwen felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking, and was tangled back and forth between several people surnamed Zhao. What if the murderer was not among these people? Zhao ** is the ID he used for online shopping. Although it can help people contact Zhao Jiacun, it does not prove that his surname must be Zhao. Anyone can use an online name such as Mr. Zhao or Ms. Zhao for online shopping.

If the murderer is not surnamed Zhao, who is he?

Yue Xingwen held down his temple with a headache, his head was about to explode. Seeing his frowning, Jiang Pingce couldn't help reaching out and patted his shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't think about it, take a rest first, and talk about it tomorrow."

Yue Xingwen couldn't figure out a clue for the time being, so he nodded and said: "Okay, everyone has been busy for a day today, go back to rest first, maybe there will be new clues later, today is only the second day, we can't solve the case so quickly. ."

Everyone went back to their rooms.

Since Secretary Qin came to inspect in person today, the mood of the workers was obviously much more stable, and everyone stopped making trouble, and went back to sleep after dinner.

Yue Xingwen was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He simply sat up and said, "Should we go to the building to have a look? If the murderer acts in the middle of the night, maybe he can be blocked?"

Jiang Pingce said, "I might not be able to go out at night."

Yue Xingwen rolled over and got out of bed, and tried to open the door to walk out, but he heard a prompt: "Don't leave the dormitory area at night during exam time."

Sure enough, the library wouldn't let them directly witness the murder scene. If they stayed up all night on the first night and stayed at the door of the building, wouldn't they have seen the murderer in action? The library forcibly confined them to the dormitory area, allowing them to judge the murderer by reasoning.

Yue Xingwen said helplessly: "Forget it, there may be new clues tomorrow."

Jiang Pingce said softly: "Well, don't think too much, you don't have enough brain cells, go to sleep."

Yue Xingwen closed his eyes and tried to hypnotize himself, and fell asleep unconsciously.

He thought he would be woken up by screams the next morning, but it turned out that the day was calm and nothing happened, but there was a piece of news——

This news is the news released by the Criminal Police Detachment of Chengnan District of City A through official channels.

The cause of Zhao Dayong's death was determined to be an "accident".

Because the crane on the seventh floor of the construction site was not stable enough, when Zhao Dayong was standing in the crane to sort cement in the early morning, the guardrail loosened and he accidentally fell. It happened to hit the steel pipe piled on the ground.

The police report made Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce look at each other.

Accidental fall?

Yue Xingwen frowned and said, "The case is closed so quickly, do you believe it was an accidental fall?"

Jiang Pingce shook his head: "It's definitely not an accident. But if the police didn't find any clues at the scene, and the surveillance didn't capture the third person, it really couldn't be defined as murder. The timing of Weibo's hot search is too coincidental, so that , Zhao Dayong is more likely to commit suicide?"

When they reasoned yesterday, they introduced the possibility of Zhao Dayong's suicide. Now, the police have determined that the case was an accident, and the murderer was not mentioned at all. In this way, the probability of Zhao Dayong's suicide has increased instantly.

But he is only 35 years old and young, and is it too much to rely on suicide to attract media attention?

Yue Xingwen said: "If he committed suicide, his purpose must not only be to set off a hot search to help workers ask for wages, but I think there are deeper things that have not been discovered."

Jiang Pingce agreed: "For example, the cause of his brother and sister-in-law's death?"

Because Zhao Dayong is a temporary worker, the construction party did not purchase commercial accident insurance for him. The steel pipes stacked under the construction site and the loose crane were the direct causes of Zhao Dayong's death. The construction party had improper management and assumed full responsibility. It was necessary to compensate Zhao Dayong's family member Zhao Liang with a certain pension.

Zhao Dayong is a temporary worker and has not signed a formal contract with the construction party. If the construction party really wants to be rude, he may not lose money, but this matter has become a big issue and has attracted media attention. He brought people to the construction site, condoled Zhao Liang personally, and promised to bury his uncle's body well and give him a pension.

Zhao Liang looked down and accepted Mr. Zhang's solution.

The second piece of good news was also brought by Mr. Zhang. Last time, he was so exhausted to appease everyone, but he was scolded by the workers. This time, he was full of energy and picked up the loudspeaker and said, "Our construction team is owed wages. It has attracted the attention of the leadership! President Jiang of Dexin Group, came over to talk to you personally on the plane this afternoon, rest assured, this time I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

When I heard that the developer boss was coming, the construction site was full of cheers, and the workers were all delighted. The power of the media was indeed very strong.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, as expected, several cars drove outside the construction site, and a boss in a suit rushed to the construction site.

Yue Xingwen recognized at a glance that this person was Jiang Dexin, the owner of Dexin Group, a well-known local entrepreneur who has developed many real estate projects, including the Qingshui Bay resort near Zhaojia Village.

Because the death of Zhao Dayong's brother-in-law was too bizarre, Yue Xingwen never lessened his suspicions about Dexin Group. At first, he thought about whether Zhao Dayong found out about the inside story of Dexin Group and was caught by the boss of Dexin Group. Dispatch people. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at President Jiang. This 40-year-old entrepreneur looks like a man with a very friendly smile.

After he came to the construction site, he first cared about Zhao Liang, the family of the deceased, and then explained patiently to the workers: "There was a problem with the approval of the project developed by our Dexin Group in City B before, and the bank loan has not been approved, resulting in a delay in the return of funds. It has been a few months, and I have recently negotiated with the bank. I promise that at the end of this month, I will give you the salary for the first half of the year and give you a certain amount of compensation based on interest!"

Hearing that there was compensation, Zhao Anming immediately asked loudly: "How much compensation? Don't play with us! You must make a written statement, sign and seal! If the salary is delayed again, we will take it to the court!"

President Jiang's face stiffened, and he said, "This time, we will never lie to everyone. We will issue a written statement, and the compensation will be calculated at 5% interest per month! Add up to half a year, and each person will be compensated 1,000 yuan more!"

Everyone was very happy to hear that everyone got an extra 1000.

The secretary next to him took the microphone and said, "Everyone, you can choose a few worker representatives and go to the office with our President Jiang to sign an agreement. Our Dexin Group will definitely fulfill our promise."

The workers talked a lot, and soon several representatives were elected. Yue Xingwen also followed and came to the office to draft the agreement.

Mr. Jiang was really cunning and cunning, and gave a lot of reasons to appease the emotions of the workers. He was always smiling, kind and gentle, and the workers were not easy to get angry at him. In the end, the two sides signed the agreement peacefully.

Whether or not this "statement"-like agreement has any legal effect aside, things subsided so quickly that Yue Xingwen always felt that something was wrong.

After President Jiang left, Yue Xingwen's unease became stronger and stronger.

Did things settle so easily?

Zhao Dayong accidentally fell, Zhao Liang received compensation, and Mr. Jiang, who alerted Dexin Group, came forward in person, promising to pay the workers salaries at the end of the month and give certain compensation.

The purpose of the hot search on Weibo was achieved, Zhao Dayong did not die in vain, and the workers also took knives for additional compensation.

However, to exchange all of this with one person's sacrifice, I always feel that it is not worth it.

After Yue Xingwen returned to the dormitory, he began to analyze the information about Dexin Group found by Ke Shaobin. Unfortunately, there were very few reports on the Clear Water Bay project.

The day passed quickly, just when the investigation was in trouble...

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, the police suddenly came to the construction site and asked with a serious look who had contacted Jiang Dexin.

Yesterday, Mr. Jiang, who smiled and explained to the workers and signed the agreement in the office, actually disappeared!
