While the manhunt is in progress

Chapter 350 Start digging a pit

After coming out of Fan Zhenbei's office, Zhou Kai quickly found Jin County Criminal Police Captain Chen and Patrol Captain Liu, and invited them to have dinner together.

As soon as Team Chen received a call from Fan Zhenbei asking them to assist Zhou Kai, Zhou Kai came to the door to show his affection, and immediately had a good impression of him. After a few polite words, he agreed with a smile on his face.

After receiving the news, Song He signaled Ma Xuexian to help Zhou Kai and Team Chen get closer, and then he and Wu Xuerui retrieved a list of personnel information from the police station system, loaded it into a USB flash drive and gave it to Lin Hui and Gu Xiaole.

"Design well." Song He said boldly and handed a stack of cash to Lin Hui: "We are short on time, and the approval of special funds is relatively slow. You should use the money as a deposit first."

"Also, the application can be approved within three days at the earliest. So once the three days arrive, I will spread [-] copies of this thing in every corner of Jin County, understand?"

Lin Hui rolled his eyes, took the money and said calmly: "Consultant Song, don't worry, Xiao Le and I will watch them make things."

"I'm waiting for your good news." Song He nodded, watched the two people leave the conference room, turned to look at Wu Xuerui and said, "Let's get started, it's time to screen information again."

Wu Xuerui smiled, and turned on the computer silently. Soon, intensive keyboard tapping sounded in the conference room.

After lunch, when Zhou Kai and Ma Xuexian returned to the meeting room reeking of alcohol, Song Hezheng and Wu Xuerui were eating takeaway during the break.

"This is the person to be investigated in the first stage." Song He directly handed several forms to the two of them, gulped his food and said, "To be honest, there is no suspect in it, which is just convenient for us to lay the groundwork and train our troops."

Zhou Kai looked at the form carefully with clear eyes. Seeing that it was all former Maoye Mining Factory employees who were no longer engaged in mining-related work, he nodded and said: "Not bad, enough for two days."

Song He was surprised when he heard this: "Fan Zhenbei gave so many people?"

Zhou Kai gave Song He a cold look: "According to the plan, there are not so many, but you asked me to flatter Fan Zhenbei, so naturally there will be more."

Song He smiled shyly, not at all ashamed: "Brother Kai is mighty!"

Zhou Kai snorted coldly and continued to look at the form, only to see Song He suddenly handing over a piece of paper with the information of several police officers on it.

Song He said: "These are the ones who are going to be slaughtered for the monkeys to see. As for who will be attacked first, it depends on which one of them gets the bad luck of the leader first."

Zhou Kai took a closer look, and found that there were still speculations about these people's violations of regulations and disciplines, and asked curiously: "With your black heart, it is estimated that no one in it can escape?"

Song He shrugged, noncommittal, but a sneer at the corner of his mouth directly showed his attitude towards these people on the list.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Kai, who had obtained Fan Zhenbei's permission, quickly gathered enough people, divided them into groups, issued detailed tasks, and repeatedly emphasized the precautions, before throwing out all the people.

Song He, Zhou Kai, and Ma Xuexian each took two of them to the homes of the three former employees of the Maoye mine.

Near four o'clock, Song He was sitting in a resident's home with a notebook spread out on his knees. He looked at the middle-aged man who was telling the story seriously and wrote a sentence or two in the notebook from time to time.

"...The money is said to be a bonus to be given out at the year-end party. Back then, the accountant was in charge of the money, and there was a safe in her office. Everyone knew it."

Song He nodded, glanced at the two police officers who were also sitting in the room but apparently distracted, and narrowed their eyes slightly.

"Do you still remember the general terrain and building distribution of the mine?" Song He asked while paying attention to the two police officers.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Remember, I work in the factory every day, how could I forget it."

Song He smiled and handed over the pen and paper: "Can you draw for me?"

The middle-aged man took the pen and paper and drew a sketch. After examining it twice, he handed it back to Song He. He said embarrassingly, "It's a bit scribbled, that's roughly what it means."

"It's okay." Song He said politely with a smile, and carefully looked at the map: "Please help me mark the location of the three workers who were killed that year, as well as the location of the accounting office."

After a little thought, the middle-aged man drew four small circles on the map, but at first glance it appeared as an extremely irregular quadrilateral.

Song He nodded in thanks, asked a few more questions, and then got up to leave.

Only then did the two police officers come to their senses, stood up quickly, and followed Song He away from the middle-aged man's house.

In the following time, Song He interviewed six or seven employees of the former Maoye mining factory one after another. They stayed in each household for nearly an hour, asking similar questions, and asked all the interviewees to draw a map.

And when Song He returned to the police station with a book full of investigation results, it was almost midnight, and the two police officers who followed him were already extremely listless, yawning again and again, as if no matter whether they were standing or lying down, as long as they were closed You can fall asleep with your eyes closed.

Seeing this, Song He asked with concern: "Sleepy?"

The two police officers froze for a moment, then nodded unresponsively, but they didn't even have the energy to put on a show.

Song He smiled warmly, and his tone was low and soft: "I also know that your eyelids are too heavy. Let's collect the information and go back to sleep."

The suggestive words combined with the relaxing expression and tone, especially the special rhythm of pronunciation when talking about key words, immediately made the two police officers feel drowsy surging up like a tide, completely devouring them only in an instant.

Song He nodded with satisfaction and led the two zombie-like people into the door of the conference room.

The meeting room was already full of police officers who had returned from their visits, and except for Song He and his party, who were still in good spirits, the rest of the people were more or less sleepy, and even a few people were already lying on the table, breathing evenly snored.

The two police officers following Song He struggled to find two seats, but as soon as they sat down, they couldn't hold on any longer. As soon as they closed their eyes and fell on the table, they fell asleep in an instant.

Zhou Kai stood quietly on the podium, looking at the people in the conference room with cold eyes, his face became more and more gloomy, and he didn't have any intention of speaking.

For a while, those who were still awake felt that the atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became weird, and the snoring sound from time to time made all those who were still trying to stay awake feel very uneasy.

"Let him sleep!"

A low angry rebuke suddenly came from Zhou Kai's mouth, and where he looked was a young police officer who was about to wake up his companions.

Zhou Kai looked at the young police officer with eyes that seemed to be breathing fire, and said in a low voice, "What are you waking him up for? Shame on him! Who dares to wake any of them up? I will personally tell Bureau Fan that you are not suitable for this job." !"

"All those who are awake, stand in the corridor, when will they wake up, and when will they start collecting investigation information!"

Everyone who was awake was suddenly horrified, and their sleepiness disappeared.

A few people wanted to wake up their sleeping companions, but were intimidated by Zhou Kai's seemingly solid eyes, so they could only obediently get up and walk out.

And when one person acts, there is a second person. Soon, everyone who was still awake left the meeting room one after another, and stood face to face on both sides of the corridor with bitter expressions, hoping that their sleeping companions would wake up as soon as possible.
