Chapter 529 The Missing Stonemason
Yang Sen picked up the stone pot that was being heated on the stone slab, and then looked at Lu Chuan in surprise.
"Xiao Lu, let me tell you how long your head is. You can still think of the case after drinking tea."
Lu Chuan scratched his head: "Just looking at this slate heating teapot, all of a sudden I thought of that stone statue."
Liu Guodong thought carefully and agreed with Lu Chuan's point of view.
"If the murderer puts the body directly inside the stone statue to heat it, because after the stone is burned by fire, it will not leave any traces by just wiping it. This method is actually feasible."
"Of course the specifics are The operation requires further research."
Lu Chuan's guess is only a possibility. After all, it involves specific methods, which may require the murderer himself to explain.
Qin Yong’s office is answering Zhang Hui’s call.
"Captain Qin, I plan to go to Xinjian Township to have a look in person."
"According to the information provided by Zhao Shengli, from the current point of view, the stonemason who carved the stone statue is likely to be a criminal suspect."
"In addition, we are also advancing the investigation on Zhao Shengli's side. In addition to The only person who works as a temporary mason and has the ability to tamper with stone statues is Zhao Shengli himself.”
Qin Yong agreed with Zhang Hui’s judgment.
"I basically agree with your judgment. You go to the masons in person. If you are here, I will ask Sun Jun to cooperate in investigating Zhao Shengli's interpersonal relationships."
Hang up. After receiving the call, Zhang Hui went straight to Xinjian Township.
Huangquan City is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Haizhou City. It was originally just a small county town in the northwest of Haizhou City. In recent years, due to the rapid economic development and the influx of a large number of people, it was raised by half a level five years ago and became a county-level city. County-level city.
Xinjian Township is located in the northeast of Huangquan City and close to Huangquan Mountain.
Huangquan Mountain is the largest stone producing area around Haizhou City. Xinjian Township is at the foot of Huangquan Mountain and has many stonemasons.
Zhang Hui’s destination this time is a natural village in Yumin Village in Xinjian countryside.
After investigation, it was confirmed that the mason who worked in his place that Zhao Shengli mentioned came from this village.
"Leaders, welcome!"
Wang Jianjun, director of the Xinjian Township Police Station, is a local and has worked at the Xinjian Township Police Station all his life. He is tall and thin and has a rough face.
"Director Wang, we are going to trouble you this time."
"Whatever Captain Zhang said can cooperate with the actions of the criminal investigation detachment above, and we will go all out."< br>
“Well, you see it’s already noon now. I’ll arrange some farmhouse entertainment here and we can go there after dinner?”
Although Xinjian Township is located in a remote area, remote places have the advantages of remote places.
The farm chicken here is famous far and wide, especially the chicken stewed with mushrooms, which is famous in the entire Huangquan Mountain and even Huangquan City.
On the way here, Zhang Hui heard from his colleagues that leaders used to love coming to this place to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms.
"Director Wang is too polite. I won't eat for now. Let's go to Yumin Village and the mason's house first to see what's going on. We'll handle the case first and then eat."
Wang Jianjun was able to become the director of a grassroots police station and served for more than ten or twenty years. Of course, he was not a loser.
"Okay, the case is important. Let's get down to business first. I just called the branch secretary of Yumin Village when you were coming. Let's go directly there now."
"Okay!"
Yumin Village is only three or four kilometers away from the countryside, and it takes less than fifteen minutes to drive there.
At the entrance of the village, there was a black Jetta sedan. Wang Jianjun's car pulled over and Zhang Hui also got out of the car.
“Team Zhang, this is Yang Jie, the village party secretary of Yumin Village.”
"Secretary Yang, this is the leader of the Haizhou City Criminal Investigation Detachment, Team Zhang."
"Hello, Team Zhang, hello Team Zhang, my name is Yang Jie, and I am the branch secretary of Yumin Village." Zhang Huihe The other party shook hands without correcting whether he was the captain or not.
Actually, people know that they are not the team leader, but they can’t be called team leaders.
Furthermore, it is inappropriate for the person coming from above to call the leader, and the captain is definitely right.
"Secretary Yang, thank you for your hard work. Sun Baojun's family is in this village?"
Yang Jie nodded: "Sun Baojun's family is in the second home in the west of the village, but he seems to have been working outside in the past two years."
A few people greeted each other and introduced each other. Yang Jie talked about the basic situation of the stonemason's family.
On the way just now, Zhang Hui and Wang Jianjun talked about the basic situation of Yumin Village.
The village is not too big. There are 10 natural villages, distributed within a radius of 20 kilometers. Each natural village has only forty or fifty households, and as many as one or two hundred households.
The total population is less than two thousand people.
In fact, the population of Yumin Village is relatively large among the surrounding villages.
In recent years, the rural population around Haizhou City has been decreasing every year. There are people who go out to school and work every year, but there are no immigrants.
Relying only on newborn babies to replenish the population cannot even fill the hole of natural death.
Yang Jie then introduced some of the conditions in the village: "Most of the people who work in our village are stone carvers. They farm at home during busy periods, and go out to work in summer and winter during free periods."
"This is the situation in Sun Baojun's family."
"Sun Baojun hasn't come back in the past two years?"
This is what Zhang Hui is concerned about.
“This is not very clear. Although the flow of people in the village is not large, who goes out to work and who does not work will not be reported to the village. We only have a rough data.”
< br>"And the situation in Sun Baojun's family is also quite special. He has never been married. His mother died early, and only his father who is not in good health is at home."
"A few years ago, their family's economic conditions were very poor, and they were a poor household in the village. In the past two years, they have gone out to work and earned some money, and the situation has become better."
"No, that brick in front of you The house is Sun Baojun’s house.”
While talking, he had already walked to Tunxitou and saw Sun Baojun’s house.
Although the house is not big, it is very new. The yard is newly paved with cement and is clean and tidy.
“The village subsidized part of the house built by Sun Baojun’s family three years ago, and they paid part of it themselves, which is regarded as a safe house.”
Yang Jie explained, and asked the team leader in the village to open the door and enter the yard directly.
Sun Baojun’s father, named Sun Aiguo, was digging potatoes in the vegetable garden when they arrived.
"Old Sun, this is the police comrade from above, looking for Sun Baojun."
The team leader and Lao Sun are obviously very familiar with each other. He told Lao Sun the situation, and the other party trembled. stood up.
"Baojun... did something happen?"
……
Sun’s living room.
"Baojun hasn't been back for more than two years. I called him and he said that the job outside paid well but was quite busy."
"I thought he was there at first. Something happened outside, but he does have a lot of money to mail home every month, so I feel relieved.”
You haven’t been back for more than two years?
