"I've been thinking about something." Wei Boyan frowned and pondered.
"What?" Lu Wen looked at him.
"Every year during the Qingming Festival, so many people send money to the following, and now the amount is getting bigger and bigger. It can easily start with a nine-digit bill. What do you think the inflation of the underworld will be like now? Can the Tiandi Bank handle it? ?"
"You look so serious that you are actually thinking about this?"
It may be a different kind of touching scene.
After arriving at the bank where the incident occurred, Wei Boyan actually thought about this issue.
"You are the director of the executive bureau of a large region and you need to set an example for your subordinates. Logically speaking, you should not be superstitious about this." Lu Wen said.
"I really don't believe it." Wei Boyan walked into the bank door, "But my parents passed away early. According to traditional customs, I will burn something for them every year."
This thing, even people with good modern education will still follow the customs passed down from generation to generation to some extent.
It is a kind of spiritual sustenance.
This is a big bank.
There are many people going in and out of the gate.
There were long lines at every window.
Most of the rows of seats in the hall were full.
Most of them are here to handle business, but there are also a small number who simply feel that it is too hot outside and come in to enjoy the coolness.
"There are no blind spots in the surveillance. There are security personnel in every corner. They are fully equipped and equipped with firearms. The safety factor is very high." Lu Wen took a few glances and made a simple judgment.
The main reason why the equipment is so complete is because this bank has a vault underground.
"The deceased Lin Ziqiang, 51 years old, was an urban resident. Before his death, he worked in this bank and was responsible for security work. He was highly regarded among his colleagues," Wei Boyan said.
Lu Wen flipped through all the information.
The location of the crime was actually the deceased's home, and it was initially judged to be the scene of the first crime.
But after yesterday's incident, both of them felt that the executive officer of the 15th District was quite unreliable, so they decided to go to the bank where the deceased worked to conduct a personal investigation.
"He was considered an amateur when he was young. He worked as a security guard in some small places. He was the kind of security guard who had nothing to do. Later, he participated in the security company's unified training and was considered to have certain abilities, so he was hired to this bank. "
A very simple life history.
I worked as a security guard in many companies for most of my life, and also did some other simple jobs during the period.
Pretty much the same as the cleaning lady last time.
Lu Wen suddenly noticed a problem, carefully compared the information of the first and third deceased, and said: "The work trajectories of these two people overlap. They both worked in a seafood wholesale market, one was a cleaner, and the other Work as a security guard.”
"Later, the wholesale market was ordered to close due to rectification issues, and they went to work for a tourism company called Desheng Company. One was a cleaner, and the other was responsible for hull inspection. As a result, that company also closed down soon."
These two people are simply possessed by degenerate gods.
"Everyone will go bankrupt, and no one will be so lucky."
"It's actually quite normal." Wei Boyan said: "The main industry in District 15 is tourism. That Desheng Company was one of the countless emerging companies when the tourism industry was booming more than ten years ago."
A time when every industry is extremely prosperous.
Countless companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and are full of vitality.
But when the waves hit the sand, very few people survive.
"Those so-called tourism companies at that time developed too fast, abnormally, and without regulations, and many things happened."
Some tour guides take tourists to the countryside and end up getting lost themselves.
Others kept taking tourists to those gift shops.
"The most serious incident is the capsizing incident in the inland sea. This Desheng company is actually a boat rental company on the beach. It takes tourists on board, and either the company's internal personnel will drive the boat, or the tourists will drive it themselves."
There are countless boats of all sizes parked on the beach, both electric and manual, ranging from small wooden boats to large yachts.
Many tourists have an adventurous spirit and want to go to deep water areas with strong winds and waves by driving a small boat.
But the relevant regulations at that time had actually come out, and tourists were not allowed to drive their own boats into deep water areas.
However, these companies have fallen on deaf ears.
When tourists ask if they can sail into deep water, since the rental fee is based on time, these companies all agree in order to make more money.
"Many tourists don't take their own lives seriously. They think sailing is easy, so they keep driving towards deep water. Then something happens and the boat capsizes, and rescuers can't even arrive in time," Wei Boyan said.
"Is it a shark?"
"Yes, in addition to drowning, sharks are a very important factor... So later, those companies that often had accidents were ordered to close down."
After a vigorous development, 80% of companies did not survive.
"No, it is written in my information that sharks are actually not very interested in human blood. There is rigorous experimental data. What's more, those tourists whose boats capsized were not necessarily injured or bleeding."
"Maybe the shark was just curious and came up to take a bite."
"It makes sense..."
As for the wholesale market, the reason for its closure is simple.
One is dirty and needs to be fixed.
Another is that fish species that should not appear in the market during the fishing ban period were found in many stalls. If there is no buying and selling, there will be no killing. Certain behaviors of fishermen have been repeatedly banned, so many wholesale markets were forced to close during that period.
"These two deceased people must have known each other, so what did they do back then? And this matter also involves the former director of the Executive Bureau... The gap in status is so big that I really can't think of anything they could do together."
Judging from past experience, these deceased people should have been involved in the same old incident and played different roles in that incident.
In later years, they committed crimes that could lead to death, so they were targeted by the murderer.
Lu Wen and Wei Boyan found the relevant person in charge of the bank and explained their intention.
The person in charge was very cooperative and told everything he knew.
"Lao Lin is a very conscientious person. He is always the first one to arrive every day and leaves very late. He is very good at dealing with people. Whether he is a new employee or a former employee, we all have a good chat with him. ." said the person in charge.
"The report time was 7:17 in the morning. What was the situation at that time?" Lu Wen asked.
"Our bank opens at 8:15, and ordinary employees arrive around 7:50, but Lao Lin is quite early. He usually arrives at 6:30. He first runs a few laps around the street outside to warm up, and then opens the entire bank. The internal inspection was very detailed, and it has never changed after so many years.”
"He didn't come this morning?"
"Yes, just after seven o'clock this morning, I found that he didn't come, so I called him to ask if he was okay, but no one answered."
Lu Wen has been observing the person in charge's demeanor and behavior.
"There is an unreasonable thing. Even if no one answers the phone, ordinary people will not report the crime directly." He looked at the person in charge, "There are many situations that lead to no one answering, such as getting up late, being hungover, and Various other reasons.”
"That's usually the case." The person in charge of the bank said with a wry smile, "But Lao Lin's behavior in the past two days has been very abnormal."
"Why is it abnormal?"
"He often told us in the past two days that if he suddenly didn't come one morning, something might have happened, and he told us to call the Executive Directorate directly."
Abnormal indeed.
Normal people would not say such things.
But when you think about what happened in the past two days, two consecutive deaths, you can figure it out.
The third deceased did have some connections with the first two and had done certain things back then.
"It's so unusual, why didn't you ask what happened?"
"Of course I asked, but Lao Lin still refused to say anything. There was nothing we could do. We thought it was because he was old and might not be in a good mental state, so we told him to take a rest."
He is more similar to Du Changqing, who died last time.
This Lin Ziqiang has a high reputation in the bank where he works.
"Six years ago, our bank suddenly encountered a group of robbers. They were very fierce and had guns in their hands. Many security personnel were beaten into pieces when they encountered each other. Some of them surrendered immediately when they saw something was wrong, but Lao Lin did not. He kept Confront the robbers."
The person in charge of the bank told about a robbery case recorded in the documents.
That robbery case remains unsolved.
"Although the treasury was still not saved in the end, the courage that Lao Lin showed at that time made me decide to hire him until his retirement."
"Robbery..."
Lu Wen chewed these three words carefully.
He remembered the words left by the wandering poet.
[When you betray others, you also betray yourself]
Betrayal and robbery seem to have some connection.
Lu Wen contacted Feng Fugui, and a few minutes later, he obtained the surveillance video from inside the bank.
"All the robbers were wearing masks and could not be identified. After entering the bank, they quickly shot and killed the security personnel in every corner. It was as if they knew the locations of all the security personnel in advance. This can be explained by the fact that they may have stepped in."
Next.
The remaining security personnel found that their opponents were too strong, and for the sake of their own safety, they put down their guns and did not resist.
Lin Ziqiang kept leaning on the corner, using the wall as cover to fight the robbers.
"Procrastination is the most taboo thing when it comes to robberies, especially bank robberies."
If it takes too long, the people from the Executive Bureau will arrive.
So the robbers used the lives of ordinary people in the hall to threaten Lin Ziqiang to put down his gun.
Finally, Lin Ziqiang had to put down his gun.
He was knocked unconscious by several robbers and thrown into the crowd.
The robbers then ordered a clerk to take them to the underground vault.
Before the enforcement bureau arrived, the robbers successfully took away a large amount of cash, escaped, and successfully escaped the enforcement bureau's pursuit in the suburbs.
"It's been so many years and the case has not been solved yet. It's another unsolved case."
Lu Wen was thinking about the word 'betrayal'.
He suddenly thought of a classic learning case in District 13.
In that case, the bank security guard and the robber cooperated inside and outside, put on a show in front of everyone, and finally succeeded in taking away a large amount of cash from the bank.
But the case was solved quickly because the security guard did not remain calm and resigned shortly after the robbery. The executives in charge of the case in the Thirteenth District at the time were confused and began to secretly investigate and found that the security guard had spent money Spending money lavishly, like getting rich overnight.
So everyone arrested him, and after interrogation, they obtained the locations of several other robbers.
"Thank you for your cooperation. We will try our best to notify you of any further developments."
The two said goodbye to the bank manager and walked out of the bank gate.
There are many banks in the 15th arrondissement, almost all private.
It is difficult for a bank that has been robbed to gain the trust of ordinary people.
However, this bank increased its security manpower after the robbery six years ago, conducted regular drills, and stepped up publicity. It has not defaulted on any funds, so it is still standing today.
"I thought of a classic case in District 13."
"The security guard cooperated with the robber?" Wei Boyan smiled, "This kind of thing has happened in the 10th District, and more than once. Many small banks could not bear the consequences of a robbery and had to file for bankruptcy."
The two returned to the car.
The crime occurred at the deceased's home, which is very close to here, a few minutes' drive away.
The scene has been cordoned off.
When the two arrived, people from the Enforcement Bureau were collecting clues in the room.
There are also some people who are asking the surrounding residents, probably asking if they heard any noise or something.
"strangeness."
Lu Wen became suspicious after seeing the deceased.
"This time the deceased died very quickly, his throat was sealed with a knife, and he was not tortured. This is very inconsistent with the murderer's previous modus operandi."
Torment seems to have been a defining characteristic of the wandering poet.
Many people on the Internet feel that the death penalty should not be abolished.
They even believe that even the previous death penalty, shooting, electric chair, etc., are too humane, and some murderers should not receive such humane treatment.
This wandering poet brings joy to the hearts of the people by allowing evil people to receive the punishment they deserve, which is why he has so many fans on the Internet.
"There were also no signs of fighting at the scene."
No money was missing, no signs of tampering.
After killing someone, leave.
Clean and crisp.
"The neighbors reported that they heard knocking on the door at around six o'clock in the morning, and there seemed to be voices." Feng Fugui said.
"Did you hear what was said clearly?" Lu Wen asked.
"No, and it was only after six o'clock. Many people were still asleep. Even if they woke up, they were still in a daze. They didn't even know the exact time."
Lu Wen retreated to the door.
The body of the deceased lay not far from the door.
"According to his usual habits, the deceased would go out just after six o'clock and run to the bank for a morning run. But this morning, before he went out, he heard a knock on the door. After opening the door, he had a brief exchange with the man. "
Do you know each other again
Of course, you can communicate even if you don’t know each other.
"The murderer stood at the door, took out the prepared knife, and sealed his throat with one blow, which was quite precise."
There was no murder weapon at the scene.
The murderer just comes, kills someone, leaves a note, and then leaves again.
From beginning to end, he never even set foot in the deceased's room.
"What words did he leave behind this time?"
