They drove to the industrial park and found a factory, Yingding Textile Factory, where Lao Chen worked as a mechanic and his wife worked as a spinning operator.

In theory, mechanic repair is a high-income job, but in recent years, due to the decline in performance of textile factories, the salary income of mechanic masters began to drop sharply, resulting in mechanic masters resigning from their jobs.

Lao Chen didn't originally study mechanics, he just occasionally did some work with this master.

The factory owner thought that the repair work was not much, so he just added a hundred or two hundred yuan to let Lao Chen do it.

The boss is quite caring towards them. Most of the employees in the factory are the same age as them, so there is basically no barrier between them.

Lin Yu asked them whether Lao Chen had ever quarreled with anyone or had any conflicts with anyone.

They all said no, but a few people secretly told Lin Yu: "If you want to say who I have quarreled with, it is the workshop director. This person always complains that Lao Chen is slow. Lao Chen said a few words to him, and then they quarreled."

Lin Yu went to find the workshop director: "Some people say that only you and Lao Chen have quarreled, right?"

The workshop director almost choked on his tea and shouted angrily outside the door: "Who the hell is talking nonsense? How could we be considered quarreling? It was just a few words about work."

The director told Lin Yu everything about the dispute that happened that day. Lin Yu looked at the director again and found that he was fat and not tall, and spoke a little rudely.

But in terms of appearance, height, and agility, he is obviously different from the murderer.

Besides, the content of this quarrel is not some deep hatred, so there is no need to kill the other party.

But I still asked him: "Where were you on the night of the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month?"

"Because we were about to go on holiday that day, our factory did not accept any orders. I played mahjong with some friends in the factory that night. You can go and ask them."

Lin Yu said he understood and would check it out, then asked Zhang Xiaonan. The female worker there also said that Lao Chen's wife had always been kind to others and had never quarreled or had any grudges with anyone.

At this time, the factory director came back and led Lin Yu and others to his office.

The factory director handed them cigarettes. Lin Yu and Wang Qian smiled and waved their hands, telling him that they didn't smoke.

The factory manager turned on the heat exchanger and said, "I know what you want to ask. Let me tell you, I have known Lao Chen for many years. When the mechanic resigned, he was the first person I thought of for the position.

They never had grudges against anyone and always worked diligently and conscientiously. "

Lin Yu thought that he knew all of this, and it seemed that there was nothing else to ask, so he said goodbye to the factory director.

The factory colleagues were temporarily excluded and Lin Yu made a cross in the notebook.

Then he checked another line and prepared to survey the townspeople.

Whether there is any grudge or any enemy, Zeng Yan’s criminal investigation team investigates these issues every day, so there is no need to ask.

First, I went to the vegetable market and changed the way I asked. I asked everyone I met: "What do you think of Lao Chen? Is his character, personality and temper good or bad?"

I asked around the entire vegetable market and supermarket, and almost without exception, everyone said that Lao Chen was an honest man, and his wife was an even kinder person. They were both good people.

No one said anything bad about him, it seems that Lao Chen is quite popular.

How could such a popular, honest and kind person possibly have such a deep hatred with others?

Although these residents can be ruled out as suspects, and although surveillance footage showed the murderer heading south, the possibility that he is a local cannot be ruled out, so we have to investigate.

The investigation was fruitless that day, and when Lin Yu returned home, he saw several cars with out-of-town license plates parked on the road outside his door.

There was a group of people in strange clothes wandering around the door of Lao Chen's house. He thought they were from other places who came to join in the fun, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

He pushed open the door of his house, and Chen Fan and Chen Qiming came over and asked him a little fearfully: "Are those people still there?"

Lin Yu pointed at the people outside the door: "These people? What do they do?"

“From a loan company.”

"Loan company? Then why did they come to your house?" Lin Yu asked Chen Fan curiously.

Chen Fan sighed and told him helplessly: "My father wanted to buy a new house for me before he died, so he went to the bank to get a loan, but he couldn't get a loan, so he looked for a loan company online.

It was agreed that the interest rate would be four times that of a bank, which is only about 10%, but now they say it is 10% per month, and I have to pay it back in installments. I have to pay back the principal and interest every month, which has become usury."

"This may be a loan scam. How much money did your father borrow?" Lin Yu asked him with great concern.

Chen Fan: "It's not a lot, just 20 yuan, but it's hard for me, a student, to pay it back."

Lin Yu was puzzled: "Then just pay them back the loan, with a little interest at most?"

At this time, Chen Qiming said: "That's the problem. Now I can't find the bank card that lent the money."

Lin Yu suddenly realized and said, "Could it be stolen by the murderer? Didn't you say there was no money to steal?"

Chen Fan explained innocently: "We just found out that my dad had borrowed 20 yuan on a bank card."

Lin Yu touched Mo's nose: "In other words, now that the 20 yuan is gone, the loan can't be repaid? The loan company is still forcing the debt?"

Chen Fan and Chen Qiming both nodded. That was the case.

Lin Yu was very angry, rubbed his hands and said to them: "Leave these people outside to me, you guys watch the show."

He strode towards them and shouted to them in a proud manner: "Hey, who's the leader?"

Seeing that he was just a young boy, the big men didn't take him seriously and asked calmly, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Yu choked them angrily: "Why are you asking me? I asked you what you want to do at someone's door?"

One of them was a big man wearing flowery clothes. It was winter and he was wearing many clothes. So he tried several times but failed to roll up his sleeves at the wrists.

But Lin Yu saw that there was a tiger tattoo on his wrist, but now only a little bit of the tiger's claws was exposed.

The big man tried several times but failed to roll it up, so he pointed at Lin Yu and said, "Hey, what are you talking about, you little brat?"

Lin Yu walked towards him with a smile, his expression calm, as if the people in front of him were just air.

"You have to understand, I'm asking you, what are you doing here?"

Perhaps no one had ever dared to speak to the big man like this before, and his eyes revealed a look of disbelief.

He was a little annoyed: "You little brat, are you itching for more?"

As he spoke, he raised his fist and wanted to hit Lin Yu, but was stopped by a shout: "Da Hu, don't cause trouble."

The person who spoke was a young man wearing a woolen coat and looked quite gentle.

He got out of a luxury car and walked slowly towards Lin Yu: "My friend, I would like to ask what is your relationship with the Chen family?"

Although Lin Yu saw that he had no ill intentions, he didn't want to answer his question.

The corners of his mouth twitched: "Who are you? Why should I answer your questions?"
