When he walked to the door of this pawnshop, Song Lang asked, "How about your partner Dachang? Why are you alone in investigating the case?"
"He... he's off work."
"Huh, just guess! Don't follow him. The police are not working from nine to five. People who do this job just like work cannot be a good policeman."
Lin Qiupu nodded silently and asked Song Lang: "Captain, what are you here to check?"
"The owner of this shop knew the deceased. I came to understand the situation. Do you know why they entangled you just now? Because this pawnshop was found to be selling stolen goods for someone else, the police are investigating.
Entering the store, the boss greeted him enthusiastically, and said flatteringly, "I said why there was a magpie barking today. It turned out that it was Captain Song who came here, ah, is this your lover?" Then he beckoned to him. The daughter came out and presented a box of cigars.
Song Lang didn't even look at it, and said, "Boss Zhai, your friend He Taiyang was killed, do you know?"
"I know, the news of this line spread quickly. I heard about it this morning. Did he die miserably?"
"Do you know what enemies He Taiyang has?"
"There are also a few enemies. Why don't you go into the house and we sit and say, how tired are you standing here?"
"No, just stand here!" Song Lang lit a cigarette for himself.
"Oh, you such a big detective captain still smokes Zhongnanhai, and the price drops too much. Come on, smoke this!"
"Boss Zhai, let me pick it up. It's useless for you to be polite with me. What I'm investigating is a criminal case, and it's not the same as a case where you sold stolen goods for someone else."
"I... I didn't help people sell the stolen goods. It was just those little thieves who splashed dirty water. By the way, Captain Song, you can talk to all leaders in the bureau, can you help me intercede with Captain Zhang? "Boss Zhai has a greasy smile on his wrinkled face.
"First, finish dealing with my affairs, and tell me who He Taiyang's enemies are."
"Oh, oh, I suddenly lost my memory, who is He Taiyang, male and female, how come this name seems to have been heard somewhere?" Boss Zhai played it very contrivedly. It was an open bargaining, and Lin Qiupu was very angry in his eyes.
Song Lang sneered and said, "Then I will tell Captain Zhang to stop checking and return all the things paid from you to you, okay?"
Boss Zhai smiled, "I don't want things..." He noticed the sarcasm in Song Lang's tone, and frowned, "Captain Song, aren't you kidding me?"
"You also know that it's impossible? Do what you do by yourself. Don't make these crooked ideas all day. Have you ever seen people falling into the swamp? You will only get deeper and deeper when you toss like this. The only thing that can save you is Before the investigation is over, think hard about how to confess and try to reduce your sentence."
The words made Mr. Zhai buried his head in shame, and Song Lang said: "If you don't tell me, I will go to other places to ask, He Taiyang is not the only friend of you."
As he said, turning around to leave, Boss Zhai hurriedly took his arm and said, "Captain Song, I will cooperate with the investigation and the investigation!"
Boss Zhai said that he and He Taiyang have been in friendship for decades. When he was young, he came to Long'an together. He Taiyang has many ideas and is willing to endure hardships. The only drawback is lust. The boss can’t control her second child. He's messing around, but he's still more afraid of his wife. He was found out for a few times. He was punished by his wife on the washboard at home. He swore that he would never touch another woman again. Of course, the dog can't change the food. Shit, he just talked about it.
In the 90s, He Taiyang had just made her mark. She slept with a woman who shouldn't sleep. She was chased by people on the road and went outside to hide for a few years. He didn't dare to come back until the black boss was arrested for other things. However, in the past few years when he went out to hide from his enemies, he still produced an illegitimate daughter, He Jingjing who is now helping in the store.
I heard that He Jingjing came to Long'an to recognize her father later. He Taiyang liked her because He Taiyang had no heirs, but Mrs. He didn't have a good face to her. You can guess with her toes. He Jingjing just came here. , The family must be restless.
"I heard that he did something very unprofessional some time ago. A guest became an antique, and when the guest came to redeem it, he actually mixed with a fake fish item. The guest was not small. I wanted to tell him to hang on in Long'an. Last time when I had a drink with him, he was very depressed. He even asked me where I can find a professional assassin. I said that you are crazy, so hurry up and apologize to others. , He also said I don't understand."
"Then what does the guest do?" Song Lang asked.
Boss Zhai lowered his voice, "On the way!"
"There was no underworld gang in Long'an twenty years ago. Which road is on the sidewalk?"
"This is also a way of saying that this master is really powerful, and I... I am inconvenient to disclose too much."
"What is an antique?"
"It's a calligraphy and painting by Zhang Detian, from the Qing Dynasty."
Song Lang nodded and asked: "When is this happening?"
"A month ago."
"Then does he have any other enemies?"
Boss Zhai said a few more. When Song Lang and Lin Qiupu left, Boss Zhai told his daughter to stuff the box of Cuban cigars to Song Lang. Song Lang just said coldly, "Don't touch me", Boss Zhai's smile solidified. On the face.
Walking out of this store, Song Lang said: "You have to remember that the police represent justice, not kindness. Justice and kindness do not conflict most of the time, but you don't have to give him a good face when dealing with such a person, otherwise they will have to make an inch of it. ."
"Remember." Lin Qiupu thought, the captain taught him a very vivid lesson.
"You have been looking at your watch just now, is there an appointment?"
"No... No, the last bus at 10:30, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
"Don't say it earlier, I'll send you off!"
"No... No, captain, go ahead and take a taxi. I'll just take a taxi."
"Stop talking nonsense, get in the car!"
Lin Qiupu didn't dare to defy, and got into the car obediently. Song Lang didn't say a word along the way. Lin Qiupu noticed that his hand was beating the steering wheel all the time. That was probably the captain's habitual movement when thinking about things.
"What did you find today?" Song Lang asked.
Lin Qiupu repeated the clues he had investigated, and finally said: "The clues are not comprehensive enough. I will visit a few more pawnshops tomorrow."
"Very good, but don’t be too rigid when investigating the case. Most of these pawnshop owners know He Taiyang. While inquiring about this bowl, remember to understand what happened to He Taiyang. It is best to listen to the same thing several times by different people to get a general understanding. What are the facts."
"Remember!" Lin Qiupu took out the small bowl in the evidence bag, "This is from a pawnshop, you can take it back for identification!"
Half an hour later, Song Lang's car drove to the house where Lin Qiupu was renting. It was a dilapidated residential building. The whole building was dark, except for a window on the top floor with a light on. Lin Qiupu said cheerfully: "My sister is back. Now, waiting for me!"
"How much is the rent here?"
"Not expensive, only 500 yuan a month."
The conditions of a house that can be rented for five hundred yuan in Long'an must be extremely poor, and it is on the top floor. It must be cool in winter and warm in summer. Song Lang took out his wallet and a wad of banknotes, wanting to give him some support.
After thinking about it, he stuffed it back. Such a poor boy must have a strong self-esteem, and he will feel humiliated by directly giving the money. It is better to wait for the case to end and change the method to give him a bonus.
Song Lang said gently: "Hurry home!"
"Thank you Captain."
