Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 25 It's a Pity You Don't Be a Police Officer

The two crossed the road and came to Huayang Commercial Building. After Lin Nanyue revealed his identity, they successfully joined Huayang Commercial Company. Ma Guojun used to be the warehouse manager here.

Cooperating with them was Li Hui, the manager of the logistics department of Huayang Commerce and Trade, and also Ma Guojun's immediate boss.

"Manager Li, how is Ma Guojun usually doing?" Qiao Xingnian asked aloud.

"Lao Ma is honest and conscientious in his work. If he hadn't resigned suddenly and caught me off guard, I would still have a pretty good impression of him. Unexpectedly...the world is really unpredictable."

"Who does he usually have a better relationship with?"

"He is honest and has a good relationship with his colleagues. If you want to say who has the best relationship with him..." Li Hui thought for a while and said, "It should be Xiao Zhang. He is an employee under Lao Ma. Take good care of him too.”

"Is Xiao Zhang going to work today?"

"Go to work. I'll go get him."

"Then trouble Manager Li."

"You two are welcome."

After a while, Li Hui brought Zhang Ming over.

Li Hui introduced: "Team Lin, he is Xiao Zhang, his full name is Zhang Ming. Xiao Zhang, these two are from the criminal investigation team. I want to ask you for some information, and you must fully cooperate."

Zhang Ming was a little nervous, and said: "Why do the criminal investigation team want me, I am a good citizen who abides by the law."

"Don't be nervous, we just want to ask you about the situation of Ma Guojun."

"Brother Ma?" Zhang Ming frowned slightly, and said, "Did something happen to Brother Ma?"

"He is dead. We found Ma Guojun's body in Dongshan this morning."

"Brother Ma is dead?" Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You are the ones who suspect me of killing you? It's not me. I haven't seen Brother Ma since he resigned."

"We're just making routine inquiries, so don't be nervous."

"Then you ask, I will tell you what I know."

Lin Nanyue took out Liu Zhaoqian's photo, handed it to Zhang Ming, and said, "Have you seen this man?"

Zhang Ming took a closer look and said, "Isn't this the owner of the billiards club next door to us? I've seen him before, but I don't know him."

"Does the Ma Guojun recognize him?"

"Get to know each other. We are neighbors upstairs and downstairs. We see each other when we look down." Zhang Ming paused and said, "By the way, I remembered when you asked me that."

Lin Nanyue hurriedly asked, "What do you remember?"

"Some time ago, last month. I forgot the exact date. There was a conflict between Lao Ma and the people from the billiards club. The boss was there at the time. It was also under his persuasion that this matter ended."

Lin Nanyue and Qiao Xingnian looked at each other and said, "Why did you have the conflict?"

"It seems that the old horse accidentally bumped into that person, and the rice he just bought spilled all over the man. The man is a rich master, and the clothes on his body are very expensive. The old horse should pay [-] yuan. The old horse is just a warehouse manager. As an employee, the salary is only three or four thousand a month, and I can save that little money after a year of hard work, so I can’t afford to pay it back.”

Qiao Xingnian looked at Lin Nanyue and said, "Captain Lin, show him Tao Hui's photo."

Lin Nanyue nodded, took out Tao Hui's photo and handed it over, saying, "Take a look, is it he who clashed with Ma Guojun that day?"

Zhang Ming looked at the photo and scratched his head, and said, "It seems to be, and it seems not to be. It's been a while, and I can't remember clearly."

"Take a closer look."

Zhang Ming looked carefully again, and said awkwardly: "I really can't remember."

"It's okay." Qiao Xingnian smiled reassuringly, and said, "We'll check the surveillance later and we'll find out."

Qiao Xingnian's attitude relieved Zhang Ming's nervousness, and said: "Yes, yes, there happened to be a surveillance camera near the place where they clashed. If you look at the surveillance video from last month, you should be able to find out if it is this person. gone."

"Then please take us there and identify the location of the conflict."

"OK, then I'll tell Manager Li."

Compared with Lin Nanyue's tenseness, Qiao Xingnian's gentleness made people let down their guard even more.

Zhang Ming greeted Li Hui, and took Lin Nanyue and Qiao Xingnian upstairs together.

When he came to the elevator entrance on the second floor, Zhang Ming paused and said, "This is where they clashed, and there happens to be a camera over there that can capture this location."

Looking in the direction Zhang Ming pointed, he saw the monitoring equipment not far away.

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "Thank you for cooperating with us today, and we will come to you again if we need it."

"You're welcome, in fact, I didn't help much." Zhang Ming smiled shyly.

"Leave a call, and we will contact you at any time if there is anything."

After Qiao Xingnian finished speaking, he looked at Lin Nanyue. Lin Nanyue understood and took out his mobile phone.

Zhang Ming told the truth about his mobile phone number, hesitated, and said, "How did the old horse die?"

"Sorry, it's inconvenient for us to disclose any information about the case until the case is over." Lin Nanyue said that this kind of very official words are the most appropriate.

Zhang Ming sighed, and said: "Lao Ma is a very good person, hard-working, and caring for his family. The money he earns every month is only a few hundred yuan as living expenses, and all the rest is sent home. Live a better life so that people won't look down on you. Such a good person...why don't they live long."

"Don't worry, we will definitely catch the murderer and give him justice." Qiao Xingnian is more convincing in comforting people.

"Thank you, Comrade Police." Zhang Ming didn't say any more, turned around and went downstairs.

Lin Nanyue turned his head to look at Qiao Xingnian, and asked bluntly, "Why are you so sure about surveillance that you must have captured that scene?"

"According to our thinking, it was Liu Zhaoqian who killed Ma Guojun. If he wanted to frame Tao Hui, he had to give Tao Hui a reason to kill him. If the two of them have never met, Tao Hui, a rich second generation with a good life, why should he go to?" Murder? Even if it happens, can you find Tao Hui?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "So their conflict was most likely led by Liu Zhaoqian. But just because of this small conflict, it is a bit too far-fetched to say that this is Tao Hui's motive for killing."

"What if evidence of Tao Hui's murder was left at the murder scene? Combined with the information about Tao Hui you visited, his image of domineering, willful and domineering is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Do you still think this reason is far-fetched?"

Looking at Qiao Xingnian's confident smile, Lin Nanyue couldn't help but feel dazed. He has to say that his logical thinking ability is really outstanding.

"It's a pity that you don't become a policeman."

Qiao Xingnian was taken aback when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Thank you Team Lin for your affirmation, but I'm disabled, so even if I want to enter the police academy, I can't pass."

For some reason, when Lin Nanyue heard Qiao Xingnian say that he was "disabled", he felt a little uncomfortable, "Let's go, let's go to the monitoring room."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and followed Lin Nanyue to the monitoring room.

"Team Lin, since the identity of the corpse has been confirmed, Ma Guojun's family should be notified. When will they arrive?"

"Today, I don't know the exact time. Why do you ask this?"

The contact these few days made Lin Nanyue understand that Qiao Xingnian never targeted without purpose.

"I think Liu Zhaoqian killed Ma Guojun not just to blame Tao Hui, but because he had to do so, so there must be an intersection between Liu Zhaoqian and Ma Guojun. But this is just my intuition, not based on facts. "

"You want to find a breakthrough from Ma Hongmei?" Lin Nanyue frowned slightly.

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "I remember that Liu Zhaoqian's mother, Li Lianxiang, is also from Lincheng. Maybe it's not just a coincidence."

Lin Nanyue was stunned, Liu Zhaoqian's information appeared in his mind, he didn't expect Qiao Xingnian to remember the information so clearly after he only read it once.

"Team Lin, we're here."

Seeing that Lin Nanyue was in a daze again, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help reminding him.

Lin Nanyue regained his senses, turned his head to look at the house number of the monitoring room, and then walked over.

After revealing their identities, the two successfully retrieved the surveillance video and checked it on the spot.

The two of them stared intently until their eyes became astringent. After watching for an hour and a half, they finally found the video.

In the video, Ma Guojun got off the elevator on the third floor, while Tao Hui and Liu Zhaoqian walked towards the elevator entrance.

When he reached the elevator entrance, Tao Hui suddenly bent down, as if to pick up something.At this moment, Ma Guojun took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and it seemed that there was a call connected. He didn't pay attention to Tao Hui who was bending over to pick up something in front of him, and bumped straight into it.The thing in Ma Guojun's hand hit Tao Hui on the back and spilled all over him.

Qiao Xingnian asked the security guard to pause the video, and said, "It looks like soup was spilled on Tao Hui, and the temperature is not low. Judging by Tao Hui's reaction, he was obviously scalded."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Tao Hui even fought with Ma Guojun, not just a quarrel, which aggravated Tao Hui's motive for killing."

Lin Nanyue asked the security guard to download the video, and then left the monitoring room with Qiao Xingnian.

"Nanyue?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind, Lin Nanyue turned around and looked over.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"I'll come with your dad to talk about something." Hu Minhua looked at Qiao Xingnian and said, "Is this your colleague?"

"No, his name is Qiao Xingnian, he is my friend."

Qiao Xingnian smiled politely and said, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hello." Hu Minhua smiled gently, turned to look at Lin Nanyue, and said teasingly, "I didn't expect you to have friends besides your colleagues. If we could talk about..."

Lin Nanyue quickly interrupted Hu Minhua and said, "Mom, I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

After Lin Nanyue finished speaking, he pulled Qiao Xingnian towards the gate.

Qiao Xingnian was startled, then turned to look at Hu Minhua, and said, "Goodbye, Auntie."

Seeing this, Hu Minhua couldn't help crying and laughing, and scolded: "You bastard, don't forget the party this Saturday!"

Lin Nanyue pretended not to hear him, and quickened his pace again, pulling Qiao Xingnian out of Huayang Commercial Building.It wasn't until he came out that he realized that he had been holding Qiao Xingnian's wrist.

Lin Nanyue let go uncomfortably, raised his hand to look at the time in a disguised manner, and said, "I'll go back to the police station first, and if there is any progress, I'll talk to you again."

Qiao Xingnian nodded, looked at his black eye circles, and said with concern: "Captain Lin, you didn't sleep last night, and you've been busy all day today, you should find a chance to rest."

"It's just one night, it doesn't matter." Even though he said that, Lin Nanyue still subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Besides, we are running out of time. When the case is over, we have some time to rest."

"The case is important, so is the body. Team Lin shouldn't take advantage of his youth and not cherish his body. Otherwise, his body will collapse without waiting for you to grow old."

"Okay, I will pay attention." Lin Nanyue hesitated, and said, "You should also take a good rest."
