winter past

Zhao You and the two security guards in the guard room showed their identities, and one of the younger security guards asked, "Why don't you come together?" He pointed in the direction of the parking lot.

Zhao You said, "Have they been here for a long time?"

The young security guard glanced at the two rows of surveillance monitors on the wall, and said, "It hasn't been long, and it's still in the female workers' dormitory."

Zhao You took a look and saw You Xiaoyi and Bai Lan appearing on a monitor. They seemed to be talking to a young girl.Other monitors showed either dark nights or dark low buildings or empty parking spaces.

Zhao You asked: "Is there a monitoring room in the factory? Is it the same as what you two saw here?"

Another older security guard replied: "The situation of each production line can be seen in the monitoring room."

Zhao You smiled and nodded: "Then you are looking at the overall situation here."

Hearing this, the older security guard waved his hands and said with a smile: "That's not true, you go in, there is a parking lot, you can park as you like."

The electric gate of the factory opened, Zhao You parked the car, went to inquire about the location of the monitoring room, and found it.There were also two security guards on duty sitting in the monitoring room. After reading Zhao You's ID, they all frowned. , made us look like criminals."

Zhao You hurriedly said: "That doesn't mean that at all, it's just that Zhang Li's social relationship is relatively simple, and the scope of life is only limited to the factory, so we have to go here every now and then, which is also a job assigned by the superior, so please bear with us. "

The other was a tall and thin man. He touched his chin and said, "Zhang Li was on duty with A Chang that day. He was called to the Public Security Bureau, don't you know?"

Zhao You pointed to a chair and asked, "Can I sit?"

The tall and thin man looked at the bearded man, and the bearded man nodded at Zhao You.Zhao You distributed cigarettes to them and said with a beard, "Smoking is prohibited inside the factory."

"Then have a good time during the break, so let's put it here." Zhao You put down the cigarette on a small wooden table at hand, looked at the instant noodles and snacks on the table, and asked with a smile: "I heard that food and shelter are included here. Does that count as extra food?"

"How can it be, the factory manager is so stingy..." The tall and thin man looked at the monitors, put his hands behind his neck, wrapped his arms around his neck, and yawned.

Zhao You grimaced and said: "That's better than our team. At least it won't spoil your stomach. I had a meal in the cafeteria at noon today. Don't talk about what it's like to eat vegetables. The soup is rotten."

He also said: "He works overtime and writes reports in meetings, and he can't order takeout, saying that he is afraid of affecting the image of the people's police."

The thin and tall man glanced at Zhao You, unconvinced: "I can't, I'll give you bad food, and if you eat bad food later, it won't affect your handling of the case, will it?"

Zhao You sighed: "Isn't that right, I don't mention the cafeteria, and I feel sick when I think about it." He looked at the tall and thin man, took out his mobile phone, and said, "Is there any delicious takeaway around here?"

The tall and thin man said, "Ma La Tang and Lo Mei are all good. Are you hungry? You can locate it. There is a Wuxing Lo Mei nearby."

Zhao You saw the five-star braised pork on the food delivery app, and asked, "What's so delicious about his restaurant?"

The tall and thin man glanced at the bearded man: "Brother Fat, pig's trotters, duck feet, and duck intestines are all good, right?"

The bearded man said: "Duck gizzards are also okay."

The thin and tall man said: "He will also give you edamame and peanuts when you reach fifty. If you go to the store to eat, you can eat edamame and peanuts as you like, there is no limit."

Zhao You said: "What about the wine? Is it worth buying a bunch?"

The thin and tall man said: "Of course it's a bargain!"

The bearded man's foot seemed to have accidentally kicked the tall and thin man's chair, and the tall and thin man turned his face away, stopped looking at Zhao You, and sat upright without making a sound.

Zhao You smiled and looked at the two of them: "Then I've placed an order."

He also said, "Usually everyone pays separately, right?"

The bearded man stared intently at the monitor, and said, "We rarely order takeaway. In the past month, Zhang Li has made some fortune. He ordered takeaway whenever he was on night shift." He clicked his tongue, "No I've told you all about it."

Zhao You said with a smile: "He is in good spirits on happy occasions. Maybe he is going to divorce his wife, and he plans to go to Yongping to find that mistress. The mistress is pregnant with a son, right?"

The tall and thin man rubbed the back of his head, and said, "Don't tell me, it's really possible. Zhang Li's family is from the countryside. I heard that he has been giving birth to a second child. He wants a grandson with his own surname. The main thing is that he is a married woman, and his belly is too big." If it's not on him, he really can't decide this matter."

Zhao You nodded frequently: "I guess he can't even decide where to buy a house, what kind of car to buy, how to decorate the house, what to eat at home, what to use, and what to wear."

The tall and thin man turned his head to look at him, and said: "Qingshui Garden, the house is old and old, and the people who live there are all relocated households, and that person is also in the school district. Those of us who come to work from other places can only be greedy."

Zhao You smiled: "Then you also find a local girl to marry?"

The bearded man laughed and looked at them: "Just him? How about a local girl? A bag of three taels of meat, even the working girls in the factory look down on him."

Zhao You said: "I don't think he's worse than Zhang Li. Zhang Li can hook up with mistresses in the factory. Brother, it's not easy for you to find a girlfriend?"

The tall and thin man touched his face, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Then there is still a gap between Zhang Li and I, otherwise the only daughter of the professor's family would not be able to fall in love with him." The tall and thin man looked at the bearded, "Zhang Li That mistress, what's her name, she's also quite pretty, right?"

The bearded man said: "It's okay." His tone was lukewarm again.

The tall and thin man suddenly pointed to a monitor on the wall and said, "Isn't Xiaoya in the same dormitory as her?"

Zhao You got up, walked behind the tall and thin man, stared at the direction he pointed, and saw a woman in a tight dress, carrying a leather bag, hurried into the women's dormitory. Another monitor captured her walking upstairs. screen.Zhao Youdao: "There are so many cameras staring at the women's dormitory?"

"Isn't it because there was a female worker stealing jewelry in the next two months? I heard that the girl ran away and still haven't found it." The thin and tall man said, "Because of this, several surveillance cameras were added, I can’t even see it with my eyes, and I have adjusted a few monitoring positions before, mainly facing the staff dormitories and the production line.”

At this moment, Zhao You's cell phone vibrated.His takeaway was delivered, so he went to the door to pick up the takeaway, distributed a bag to the two guards at the door, carried the rest of the bag back to the monitoring room, and met Tian Keren's uncle Su Weidong as soon as he entered.

Zhao You put down the takeaway with a smile, and said, "Where is the toilet?"

Su Weidong stepped forward to shake hands with him, with a smile on his face, he said, "Hello, Comrade Police, thank you for your hard work."

His hands were covered with sweat, his neck and the tip of his nose were also covered with beads of sweat, and his breathing was a little short, as if he had come running.Su Weidong said, "I'll take you there."

Su Weidong's body smelled very strong of caramel.

"Have a good meal, both of you." Zhao You greeted the two security guards and followed Su Weidong out.

On the way Su Weidong led him to the toilet, Zhao You asked him, "Is this the toilet that Zhang Li went to that day?"

Su Weidong pointed forward: "Otherwise, you have to go to the toilet by the production line, and you have to walk for about ten minutes."

"Toilet No. 4 and No. 5 are not broken, are they?"

"Not bad."

Zhao You suddenly sighed: "The fact that Zhang Li is embarrassing you, you are still willing to let him stay to guard the door, is it because of your niece's face?"

Su Weidong also sighed: "How can I say that he is also Zixi's father, and my daughter was also dismissed by me. My niece also said at the time that the young couple live together, and the future will be long. Who would have thought..."

Blinking to the door of the toilet, Zhao You went in to use the toilet, and when he came out, he saw that Su Weidong was still there, pressing his cell phone. Seeing him, he stuffed the cell phone into his trouser pocket.Zhao Youdao: "Can you take me to Zhang Li's dormitory?"

Su Weidong said: "No problem, it's you..." Su Weidong squeezed out a stiff smile: "Didn't you two colleagues come here?"

"Return visit." Zhao You also forced a smile and said.

The two left the factory.Zhao You gave Su Weidong a cigarette, and Su Weidong took the cigarette and took a sip.Zhao Youdao: "Let me tell you the truth, there is no difference between us criminal investigators and factory assembly line workers, it is the same thing, one action, repeated, go to the places you have been, and ask people who have asked, it is all mechanical labor. .”

Su Weidong smiled, smoked, and put his hands in his pockets.

Zhao You said again: "Zhang Li went to the bathroom for a long time and didn't go back. Xu Achang didn't report to the higher authorities?"

Su Weidong said: "Xu Achang said that when Zhang Li went to the bathroom, he said that his stomach was uncomfortable, and the takeaway might not be clean. Xu Achang thought he had a stomachache, so he went back to the dormitory to rest. There was no work in the monitoring room. Li was the team leader again, and he didn't feel embarrassed to look for him again, so he finished the shift by himself. Later, when he returned to the dormitory, he didn't see Zhang Li, so he called me, and I called him as soon as possible. Back to Zhang Li's house."

Su Weidong lowered his head, silently stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and took another two puffs of his cigarette.

"Didn't get through?"

Su Weidong said quietly: "The phone number at their home is a bit difficult to make."

"The phone lines at home are usually unplugged, right? Where's Tian Keren's cell phone? Have you called?"

Su Weidong scratched the bridge of his nose: "It's not a child's high school entrance examination, my niece is a little bit, how can I say..."

"How to say?"

"That's... mobile phones are not allowed at home. Zhang Li used her mobile phone in the past. She was afraid that the children would be distracted by seeing the mobile phone and the like. Tablets and computers can only be used for study, and the landline at home is also afraid of children. The child is disturbed, when the child goes to school and is not at home, she takes over."

"Then her parents can't contact her usually?"

"My sister and her couple are very carefree. They are traveling all day long. I said that Zhang Li couldn't be found. They were in Biluo Lake at the time, so I didn't take it seriously. I said it was best for them to solve the matter of the young couple. I'm too embarrassed to talk too much, don't you think so?"

Zhao You didn't ask any more questions.

The security dormitory is in the men's dormitory building, on the second floor. Su Weidong took Zhao You in and turned on the light. Someone was sleeping in the dormitory. He bounced up and scolded his mother. He opened his eyes and saw Su Weidong. He was silent and lay down again. .

"The police came to see Zhang Li's bed, you continue to sleep." Su Weidong spoke in a friendly voice.Zhao You glanced at him, and Su Weidong pointed to a vacant lower bunk near the window and said, "Zhang Li's bed."

"Who is the upper berth?" The upper berth was also empty.

"Xu Achang." Su Weidong said.

Zhao You was not without admiration: "You really know everything about the factory."

Su Weidong smiled and stood by the window smoking a cigarette.Zhao You pointed to the four iron lockers placed against the wall in the room, and said, "Aren't the lockers locks? Are everyone's things mixed like this?"

A security guard tucked under the blanket said vaguely, "There's nothing valuable..."

Zhao You opened a locker. Inside were two suitcases squeezed together and some folded snakeskin bags. The locker next to it contained washbasin towels and the like. There are several sets of security uniforms hanging in the locker. This locker has two compartments, and the clothes and pants inside are all piled up. In the last locker, there are some soft drinks, beer, instant noodles, a first-aid kit, several A box of Banlangen, and some medicine bottles.

Zhao You rummaged through the first aid kit, which contained only disinfectant alcohol and some bandages, and the Radix Banlangen was unopened.Those medicine bottles contained digestive medicine and several bottles of Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets. He opened them one by one to look, and saw half a bottle of orange capsules in a bottle of Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets.He asked, "Who owns this bottle of Yinqiao detoxification tablets?"

Everyone in the room sat up one after another, all at a loss.Zhao You carefully wrapped the medicine bottle in a handkerchief and put it in his pocket.Su Weidong looked at him with a smile: "This is..."

Zhao You patted him and said, "Then I won't bother you, go ahead and don't disturb everyone's rest." He glanced at the trash can by the door: "Someone takes out the trash every day, and someone comes to collect it, right? ?”

Su Weidong nodded, threw away his cigarette butt, and followed Zhao You out of the dormitory.He pressed, "What's wrong with the medicine bottle?"

Zhao You said: "I don't know either, I have to go back and ask a professional."

The two walked to the first floor, and Su Weidong said, "Are you coming tomorrow?"

Zhao You smiled: "Don't worry, maybe the case can be solved tonight, you can do your work, come to supervise the work in person in the middle of the night, you have worked hard."

He walked outside the dormitory building, raised his eyes, and happened to see You Xiaoyi standing outside the female workers' dormitory building smoking a cigarette, so he pointed at him and said, "My colleague, I've passed."

Su Weidong didn't ask any more questions, and shook hands with Zhao You again.

When You Xiaoyi saw Zhao You, she was dumbfounded: "Why are you here, Deputy Zhao?"

Zhao You asked him, "Where's Bai Lan?"

"Hey, why do men make things difficult for women!" You Xiaoyi smoked a cigarette and said with a smile, "Bai Lan is talking to a woman in Miao Ruirui's dormitory."

Zhao You sniffed his cigarette, and said, "How many cigarettes do you have? The smell of your cigarette is a bit mixed. Bai Lan doesn't smoke women's cigarettes, does she?"

You Xiaoyi tugged at the clothes on her body, and said: "It's not me, and it's not Bai Lan. The smell of smoke belongs to that woman. As soon as she entered the dormitory, I almost couldn't bear it. Good guy, she smells like smoke."

"The one in the tight skirt?"

"Fuck, have you opened your eyes?" You Xiaoyi stared in surprise.

"What's her background?"

"The monitor of the advanced class of the assembly line or something. She was there last time, but she was wearing factory clothes and no makeup. She came over suddenly today. I didn't recognize her after tea. This woman doesn't live in the dormitory for a long time, she is outside. I have a boyfriend who rents a house, and she came just after we inquired with other people in the dormitory about Miao Ruirui's pregnancy."

"Who else lives in Qingshui Garden in this factory?" Zhao You asked.

"There's no one else, what's the matter?"

"The community is so close to here, is there no one living there?"

You Xiaoyi laughed twice: "Don't tell me, I've actually inquired about this matter. Those who work part-time can't afford it, and those who can afford it feel that the community is too old. They don't even have an elevator, so they all live in Hanlin Community."

Zhao You nodded and looked at the time, it was 08:30.He called Shule, and after the buzzer rang twice, he quickly hung up the phone, pointed to the factory and said, "You're busy, I'll go around."

"Turn what?"

Zhao You walked in the direction of the factory building, drawing circles in the air with his hands: "Just go around."

You Xiaoyi stretched her neck and shouted: "Aren't you supposed to catch the thief?"

Zhao You turned around, walked around a big tree, and turned around in the factory.Relying on the surveillance images he saw in the factory surveillance room in his memory, he found out all the surveillance cameras in the factory.He took pictures of them one by one before returning to the car.He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. Shule called him more than a dozen times, and even sent him a WeChat message: Are you looking for me?

How not to answer the phone?

Answer the phone?

Deputy Zhao, really don't mess with me

Team James is here...

Zhao You didn't respond to the message, so he drove the car back to the Municipal Bureau and parked it, took a taxi to the train station, rented a Mazda of the same model and color as Hetian Keren at a nearby 24-hour car rental point, drove back to the Municipal Bureau, and parked at the off the curb.

He stepped into the conference room again.As soon as he entered, he saw Shu Le sitting there with his head drooping. Zhao You first found Zhu Zhao, handed him the medicine bottle he brought back, and asked, "Shouldn't it contain Yinqiao tablets?"

"Melatonin, right? It looks like the one my wife is taking. It seems to be an American or Canadian brand."

"A sleep aid?" Zhao You said, "Can you take the fingerprints on the bottle?"

Zhu Zhao took out a pair of disposable gloves from his pocket and put the medicine bottle into it.Zhao You thanked him, walked to Shu Le's side with a smile, and squeezed his shoulders a few times with a smile: "Is everything going well? I wanted to go to find you, but you didn't answer my phone."

Shu Le suddenly raised his head to look at him, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets: "I called you more than a dozen times!"

"It's okay, you didn't receive my call, and I didn't receive your call. We're even. It's not good that the phone is on silent, but it's all for the mission. Where's the person? Got it?"

Shu Le was still very frustrated: "I was caught, and Team Zhan interrogated me personally, and asked me where you went."

"Just tell him the truth."

Shu Le pointed to her head: "You smell, my hair stinks."

Zhao You laughed. At this moment, Zhan Xuanang patted the folder to signal everyone to be silent. His voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot: "It's a meeting! It's a meeting! Sit down! Sit down!"

Zhao You hurriedly sat down with his head down, and spread out his notebook.

Zhan Xuanang said: "First of all, the burglary case of Building 10 and Building 6 of Qingshui Garden has been solved. The mastermind is He Miaomiao, 28 years old and unemployed. I learned from the uncle who operates the monitoring equipment that the monitoring system of Qingshui Garden is damaged and the new equipment is temporarily out of stock. Finally, I gathered a group of former vocational high school classmates..."

Hearing this, Zhao You covered his mouth with one hand and yawned.Shu Le and Xiao Qing beside them also yawned again and again, rubbing their eyes and taking notes.

Zhan Xuanang added: "Thank you to the two colleagues from the Open Zone Bureau."

Lao Gao and Xiao Sun stood up, and there were sparse applause from below.Zhan Xuanang said again: "Thank you to the two colleagues from the Open Zone Bureau!"

There was thunderous applause.

"Next, Shifang, how is Miao Ruirui's investigation going?"

Wang Shifang got up to speak, and his voice was dry: "Let's review the whole case first, at 6:8 am on June 31..." Wang Shifang took a few sips of water from the thermos and continued: "The command center received an alarm from Wang Di, a teacher in the experimental junior high school in the open area..."

Zhan Xuanang also yawned, folded his arms, sat on the chair, and leaned back.

"The matter between Zhang Li and her was exposed. When she was dismissed from the factory, she was already pregnant. According to the female workers in the same dormitory, she was already pregnant. It was estimated that it would have been five months. The hospital in the city did not find her. According to the archives, after she was dismissed, she took a bus back to her hometown, Yongping County, Tongshi City at 5:2 pm on May 3nd at the West Bus Station, and there was no other traffic record after that..."

Zhao You yawned again, and his hand covering his mouth couldn't help moving up, supporting his forehead and blocking his eyes.

"Miao Ruirui is indeed expecting to give birth in her hometown, but she said that she knows nothing about Zhang Li's whereabouts. We checked her mobile phone and found no information exchange with Zhang Li. The strange thing is, Miao Ruirui said, The child is not Zhang Li's..."

Indistinctly, Zhao You also heard Zhu Zhao's voice: "The thing about fingerprints is like this. Zhang Li entered the Lanxin jewelry processing factory through the back door. Tian Keren's uncle is the factory director. After Zhang Li got married, he saw He was idle and stayed at home all day long. He was first assigned a managerial position in the factory. As a result, he fell in love with Miao Ruirui, a female worker on Line [-], and was dismissed. Arranged to be the captain of the security guard, transferred to the post in May, and did not report to the public security side, fingerprints and other biological information are not in the archives, and the fingerprints of his second-generation certificate have not yet been collected..."

Everything sounded so familiar.It seems that I have listened to it in the morning and listened to it again in the afternoon...

Zhao You fell asleep.

When he woke up, Yan Boyuan was sitting next to him, reeking of sweat.Yan Boyuan tugged at his collar and said, "I'm really convinced, so you can fall asleep."

Zhao You looked around, there were only the two of them in the meeting room, the air conditioner was turned off, and he was sweating.

Yan Boyuan sighed and squinted at him: "Old Zhan gave you a chance to make meritorious service, why don't you go?"

"I'm about to change jobs, I'll leave it to the younger generation, I'm happy to go."

Yan Boyuan rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid? You transferred to the Political Department to do internal affairs, how could there be so many opportunities for you to make meritorious deeds? Now you bring more meritorious deeds to go out and evaluate them later. Your resume will not look good? "

Zhao You put away his notebook and pen, thought for a while, and asked Yan Boyuan, "Do you want to eat popsicles?"

Yan Boyuan ignored him, stood up and strode out.Zhao You strolled to the 24-hour convenience store outside the Municipal Bureau, bought a red bean popsicle, ate half of it, bit the remaining half, drove the Mazda and left.
