Chapter 10 Hou Ke
When he came back from lunch the next day, Liu Xingye received a call from Song Xiaomao and learned that the injured woman in the hospital had woken up.
When answering the phone, he was sitting in the office of the Third Criminal Squad. This office is located on the third floor of the Police Department. There are three rows of desks in the room. There are two tables in the front two rows, and there is only one in the inner row. It is Liu Xingye's desk, which is placed alone, which is a special feature of being a team leader.
This morning, Du Minghui took people to the scene of Yanzhi Lane. The snow fell last night and it didn't stop. They tried a lot to find four shells on the ground. The Browning could hold five bullets, and there was one left in the gun. The woman should have fired four shots, and the four shells found on the scene also proved this.
Two small holes were found in the nearby walls, and two bullets were picked out from it. The other two bullets could not be found. Liu Xingye estimated that one bullet might be on the murderer's arm, and there was a bullet. The woman might have been flying towards the sky, and the bullets were not sure where they flew.
Liu Xingye arranged for Sun Desheng to take two people to investigate the car dealers in the city to see if any coachmen have lost their rickshaw recently. The rickshaw that was discarded at the scene has been pulled back to the police station and is temporarily placed in a warehouse on the first floor.
After Liu Xingye and his group came back from the scene, the corridor immediately became lively. They were talking and laughing, and some even whistled. People from other departments also came out to join in the fun and greet them.
Liu Xingye took the lead in singing "A Bag", and his men sang together:
“A sack,
Carry it to Harbin to sell it,
If you can't sell it, what should I do?——”
The people in the corridor followed the next sentence:
“——Carry it back.”
After singing the last sentence, everyone burst into laughter.
The intelligence chief Song Jie came out of an office with a tea jar and laughed at the scene:
"Good guy, it's a slam. I know that you guys are back. I know that you are back from investigating the case; I don't know that you thought you were bandits and had robbed some good things to go back to the mountain. Why do you say you are happy with poverty? What's there to be happy with? Is it a sack that makes you happy like this?"
Liu Xingye stopped in front of him. "Secretary Song, life is short. If you no longer find some happiness, what's the point of living? No matter what, people can't find hardship for themselves. It's better to find happiness than to find hardship, don't you?"
Liu Xingye shook his head, hummed "A Sack" and walked over with his buddy.
Song Jie smiled and said to the people around him: "After all, I am still a young man, I have strong firepower and I'm clamoring for nothing. I'll vent my extra energy, it's lively and lively."
At this time, Hou Jingtang, the chief of the Criminal Section, walked out of the office.
Song Jie said to him: "Old Hou, have you seen it? Our Police Department will count the active people under your command."
Hou Jingtang looked at the figures of Liu Xingye and snorted in his nose.
"This kid Hoshino likes to mess around. I have said that he has been several times. Be low-key and more—"
"——It's better to have less things than more, right? Lao Hou, how can you make young people as old as you? I hope my subordinates can be as happy as Hoshino, at least have a festive celebration."
At the office door, Liu Xingye met Wang Jin, the captain of the second team.
When Wang Jin saw Liu Xingye, he kept thanking him: "Hoshino, fortunately you gave me some advice on my case, and it was exactly the same as what you inferred. I thanked you brother first. I owe you this meal."
"Don't worry, I've never forgotten this kind of thing." Liu Xingye said.
"Oh," Wang Jin said with emotion, "Hoshino, why are this woman so cruel now? She can do anything for money. She let her lover help murder her husband. In the end, she poisoned her lover and turned her down, and took all the charges to her lover. In this way, Boss Sun's wealth would fall into the hands of this little girl. She was as clean as if she was fine. Hoshino, if it weren't for your keen eyes, I would have been blinded by her."
"What's wrong? I've been sympathetic and remembered you myself?" Liu Xingye joked with him.
"What's wrong with me?" Wang Jinkou started to eat.
"What's wrong with you... Captain Wang, I know the little thing you did with your sister-in-law on your back. Just your little lover is not a vegetarian. Be careful when she puts something good in your wine so that you can lie down but can't stand up."
Wang Jin quickly made a gesture to cover his mouth.
"Hoshino, this is so popular, don't talk nonsense. Besides, I'm a pauper, who wants to harm me? What are you trying to do?"
"That's right. Captain Wang, it's hard to say whether you are a pauper, but you are a policeman. Maybe someone wants to kill a pauper, but no one dares to harm a policeman."
"Oh, Hoshino, I love hearing this. With you, I feel much more at ease when I eat and sleep. You almost scared me of a heart attack just now. Okay, I still have something to do with you, so I won't talk to you anymore. Anyway, I owe you this meal. I'll write it down, my brother, and let's have a few more meals."
As soon as Liu Xingye entered the office, he saw his immediate boss, Chief Hou, walking in.
Hou Jingtang, in his forties, is not tall, looks ordinary in all aspects, and is a person who will disappear immediately after a stand in the crowd. Because he looks very ordinary, it is not surprising to say that he does anything. The hawker who buys groceries, the master who repairs shoes, the professors of universities, the master of kitchens, and even the chief of the police station, is just the kind of person who foils others. There are people everywhere, after all, there are always a few people at the center.
Hou Jingtang is a relatively easy-going person and does not like to train others, so everyone respects him very much in the criminal department. Maybe it is because he is old and promotion is unlikely, so he has no ambition. A sentence he often says is: It is better to have less than more things.
At this moment, Hou Jingtang came over and pulled a chair to sit down.
"You guys, you guys, have been messing around as soon as you come back. Hoshino, tell me, what have you been messing around with this trip?"
Liu Xingye reported the case in Yanzhixiang to Hou Jingtang, but Hou Jingtang disagreed and said that he was asking for his own fault.
"It's not common for such a thing to happen in the ghost place in Yanzhi Lane. Hoshino, why should you be so serious? Be careful not to be thankless."
"As a policeman, I can ignore the case when I see it. Besides, this case is quite interesting and fun."
"Interesting, still fun? Okay, just play if you are fun. Anyway, time is yours, you can play casually, but don't delay the serious business. By the way, are there any clues to the robbery case at Qidao Street Jewelry Store?"
Hou Jingtang was concerned about the case explained by the above. For him, this was the main business. As for other cases, if you can not accept them, you should not accept them. If you can accept them less, you should not accept them more. In his words, this is called a matter of more than more.
"It's almost done, several informants have reported the clues. I guess they will be able to close the line in the next two days."
Hou Jingtang was very satisfied when he heard this. He stood up and said, "Okay, Hoshino, you guys are just a few tricks and you are so quick. Okay, I'm leaving, you guys can do whatever you like."
