"bribe!"
On the way to Lijiazhuang, Li Beini said these two words to Zhao Yu, and then gave her reasons:
"At the piano competition that year, someone may have bribed the child prodigy Li Dan and secretly gave her a large sum of money to withdraw from the finals! In this way, without this powerful competitor, the briber would naturally Is he in charge?"
"It's a bit interesting!" Zhao Yu said while driving. "It's also possible that someone didn't make it to the finals and only ranked 11th, so he bribed Li Dan to withdraw from the competition, and then he could enter the finals by filling in. !
"So, that pregnant belly is number 10, could it be..."
"No!" Li Beini said, "Entering the finals is different from the final ranking. The 10th player entering the finals may theoretically win the championship!"
"Oh, that is to say... we need to find out who is the lucky person who made an exception from the 11th place and entered the finals?" Zhao Yu said thoughtfully.
"No... Senior brother, we... may have thought wrong!" Li Beni quickly rejected her speculation, "It's not a bribe! Think about it, the child goddess came here for the top three, and entered the top three. Her destiny will change, but no amount of money can buy it!
"If I were the parent of a child prodigy, no matter how much money the other party offered, I would never let him go. After all, this is the only opportunity in my life!"
"Yes...then...could it be a threat?" Zhao Yu clenched her fists and guessed, "Someone threatened the goddess to withdraw from the competition, or else, kill her whole family!?"
"Eh!" Li Beni pouted, "You sound like a local bully. In those days, they were all children learning piano. How could they be so vicious?"
"All in all, something must have happened in that piano competition! Otherwise, it would be impossible for all the victims of the hand-chopping case to be among the finalists!"
Zhao Yu said seriously and drove the car very fast, hoping to find out this matter quickly.
However, something that made Zhao Yu extremely depressed happened again. When he and Li Beini visited Lijia Village for a whole morning, they gained little.
According to the village party secretary and neighbors at the time, Li Dan's family sold their ancestral home and left Lijia Village more than 20 years ago. Although they have several relatives, they have very little contact with each other. They have not been seen since that piano competition. No one knows where their family has gone.
Before that, Li Beini had checked their family's information at the police station, but there was also no record. I thought I would gain something from my visit to Lijiacun, but the result was still disappointing.
The family of the child goddess seemed to have disappeared from the world. Zhao Yu and Li Beini even wondered if something unexpected had happened to their family. The hand-chopping case has not been solved yet, but another murder case has been linked to it, right
All in all, if we can't find the child goddess family, it means that the clues are interrupted again! This made Zhao Yu extremely depressed. He felt like a spring that had been stretched repeatedly and had reached the edge of breaking.
Grandma is a bear!
Why!
Why is it so difficult to investigate and crack down on hand-picking cases
Every time after a lot of hard work, we finally found a few clues, but in the end, without exception, they all ended abruptly and gave up halfway!
Zhao Yu was so angry that he slapped the steering wheel. Li Beini could only kindly comfort her, saying that now that things have happened, let's not delay any more and hurry up to protect Li Xinhua!
Today is the 26th! Never let her hand be chopped off by the murderer again!
"We can't bet all our money on this!" After a brief period of depression, Zhao Yu still didn't give up, "If it doesn't work out, I'll go see the three victims. They didn't know that the hand chop was related to the piano competition. If I ask them to recall it, they might be able to remember something!"
"That's okay! Then let's work separately," Li Beni said, seeming to remember something again, and said hurriedly, "Oh, by the way! I suddenly remembered that we can continue the search for the child goddess! Maybe... I can find 'that person' to help!"
"Who?" Zhao Yu didn't understand.
"Don't you know? We have a person-finding expert in our bureau? If he is willing to take action, he might be able to find out something!"
"There is still such a person?" Zhao Yu was surprised, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Ahem! Although this man is very weak in investigating cases, he is a first-rate master of tracing people. It is said that he has a unique secret recipe for tracing people! Anyone who has been missing for many years can be caught quickly if he gets his hands on it. .”
"Huh? Are there still such talents?" Zhao Yu scratched his head, "So, he is in the missing persons department?"
"What! Pretending to be confused, don't you know?" Li Beni said angrily, "Zhang Jingfeng!? The guy on the desk next to you!"
"What!?" Zhao Yu was a little confused, "Why is it him? He... is not..."
"Yes! Investigate long-unsolved cases together with Liang Huan, a weird combination of weird people!" Li Beini introduced, "I heard that Zhang Jingfeng used to be a very dedicated police officer in the Missing Section, but he made some mistakes later. , and then he was transferred to the unfinished group of our group.
"And since he joined the unfinished group, his temperament has changed drastically. He is often passive and slow in his work and has no desire to make progress. He has been scolded by Captain Liu several times.
"The most important thing is, didn't he change his job? Then tracing people is no longer his main business. I heard that whenever a colleague asks him to help find people, this guy will ask for benefits!
"If he didn't give it, he would push back and do his job dishonestly. People even gave him a nickname, Thief Ni Loach!
"So, if you want to ask him for help, you have to be prepared to lose money!"
"Loach? Interesting!"
Zhao Yu really didn't expect that Zhang Jingfeng would be such a person.
Before returning to the police station, Zhao Yu called Zhang Jingfeng and explained the situation to him.
However, unexpectedly, Zhang Jingfeng did not push back and readily agreed to help Zhao Yu. He also smiled and asked Zhao Yu to send him the information quickly, and he would go to the office to check for him.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yu shrugged at Li Beini. Does that mean that what you said is wrong? Isn't this very enjoyable for him
"Alas!" Li Beini sighed meaningfully and said to Zhao Yu, "This is his usual trick. On the surface, he happily agreed to you, but in fact, he was indifferent at all.
"In the end, he won't put forward conditions until you get anxious. If you don't agree, then even if you wait another 10 months, he won't be able to help you investigate!"
"Yeah?"
Zhao Yu was really suspicious, but when the two returned to the police station office, Zhang Jingfeng was not there.
Zhao Yu called him, and Zhang Jingfeng made an excuse that he had diarrhea and would be late, so he asked Zhao Yu to wait in the office first.
Zhao Yu urged him, saying that this matter was of great importance and was the key to solving the case, so he could not be careless.
As a result, Zhang Jingfeng promised again and again with a playful smile, saying that he would do it as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, more than twenty minutes later, he was still missing. When Zhao Yu called again, the connection was not answered!
"What am I talking about?" Li Beni smiled bitterly, "This kind of person is the most annoying. Just watch, if you don't say you'll benefit him, there's no way he'll help you with the investigation!"
"Hehehe..." Unexpectedly, when he heard this, Zhao Yu smiled instead. He patted Li Beni's shoulder and said confidently, "When I came out to hang out, I specialized in treating such villains! Just look at it. , I don’t spend a penny, and he has to be honest and help me check it out!”
