I'm a New Police Detective: Specializing in Solving Strange Cases

Wang Qian came over with a work folder and showed them the photo. They confirmed that it was this person.

Lin Yu said to Wang Qian: "Let's ask other villagers, maybe someone saw what he was waiting for?"

But the villages here are not like the urban villages in Nanjiang City. The houses here are separated widely, and sometimes the villagers’ homes are separated from other homes by many fields.

This is not an easy question to ask, but now that they are many in number, they can act separately.

We formed several groups of two people.

The director said: "Officer Lin, we found out that this fellow villager said he saw this man riding a motorcycle and leaving that day."

"Motorcycle? Did he take a motorcycle taxi?" Lin Yu asked him curiously.

The villager said: "The roads in our village are relatively small, so taxis are not very willing to come here."

The director thanked the villager. Lin Yu was thinking: "He didn't call a taxi. Is he afraid that the police will find out his whereabouts? Motorcycle taxis are generally unregistered, so it's hard to check."

Lin Yu asked the director: "Do any of the motorcycles here have licenses?"

Director: "They usually have license plates, but motorcycle taxis are usually operated by individuals and are not registered on the platform, so it is difficult to find out who owns them."

Lin Yu thought for a moment: "Is there any way to check?"

The director lowered his head and thought for a while: "There is a way. I will take you to find someone. Maybe he can help us find the person who drove the motorcycle?"

After they left the village, Lin Yu said there were too many people and asked the two girls to go to the hotel to rest.

Director Wang Qian, Zeng Yan and I went to the urban area of ​​Guanghai City and found a seal-making shop on an old street.

The director looked inside and said to Lin Yu, "Wait a moment, I'll go call them."

The director shouted, "Old Zhang? Are you there? Come out quickly."

"Who's looking for my master?" A young girl wearing something like the Republic of China style clothing came out.

Director: "I'm looking for your master, is he there?"

"Yes, but we have guests. Can you wait for a moment?"

Lin Yu saw the director calling them in, so the three of them chose a seat and sat down.

The girl came out again and made everyone a cup of tea, then asked the director: "Master, are you a police officer?"

Lin Yu and Zeng Yan looked at each other, and the director sat up straight: "Old Zhang is still very powerful. I can tell by just listening to the voice. Tell him that it is Director Yu of the police station."

The girl entered the room. After a while, a hearty laugh came out from the inner room: "Haha, Director Yu didn't even inform me in advance so that I could welcome you."

The director stood up and clasped his fists with him, and Lin Yu and others also followed suit.

"Old Zhang is joking, why should we be polite?"

This old man Zhang is not very old, around 40 or 50 years old. He is in better spirits than ordinary people and you can tell at first glance that he is a martial artist.

He smoked his pipe and asked the director, "Is there anything wrong?"

"I need your help. They are police officers from Jiashao City. They are here to investigate a case. They need to find a motorcycle taxi. Can anyone tell me if anyone has picked up a person in a raincoat on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month?"

He took a puff of his cigarette and then turned on his phone: "Come over to me right away."

Then he told the director, "It's a small matter. I'll ask them to check it out later."

A few minutes later, a young man in a suit and tie came into the store and greeted Mr. Zhang.

Old Zhang gave him a copy of the video and said, "Go check if anyone picked up this man in a raincoat on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month in the village below the mountain."

The director added: "Yes, it was in the village at the foot of the mountain. It was a motorcycle taxi."

Old Zhang told him, "This is the person Director Yu wants to investigate. Tell others that it's me who's investigating. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"how much time is required?"

The young man looked at the photo and said, "One day is enough. I will reply tomorrow."

Old Zhang said to the director with a smile: "Is one day okay?"

The director looked at Lin Yu and Lin Yu nodded.

The director said, "One day is enough. We will take our leave and wait for your good news."

Back at the station, Lin Yu replied to the director: "Who is this old Zhangtou?"

"Lao Zhangtou, his last name is Zhang, and he makes seals, so we call him Lao Zhangtou. If there is anything that we police cannot find, or it requires a lot of time, we can ask him to find it quickly.

He has people from all walks of life here, and the guy just now was his student."

Lin Yu roughly understood what he said. He had dealt with such people several times during this period.

The director told him, "We have a lot of small roads here, so motorcycle taxis have always been very popular. In recent years, business has been difficult, and many people have started to drive motorcycle taxis to make a living, which is similar to driving taxis in your area."

Lin Yu smiled and wanted to say goodbye to the director and go to the hotel to rest.

But at this time, the director received a call telling him that the motorcycle had been found.

Lin Yu said: "Let's go together."

Old Zhang told them that he was in a community in the east and that he was a local who was a bit older.

I was working here because I was unemployed. I was a very honest person and would answer any questions I asked. Everyone agreed.

According to the address and phone number given by Lao Zhangtou, they quickly found this person.

After looking at the surveillance photos, this person recalled carefully and said that it was indeed the case.

Lin Yu asked him: "Where did you drop him off?"

He said: "He said he was going to a place to get something and asked me to wait for him to come out. But I waited for a long time and he didn't come out. Later, I couldn't get through to him on the phone."

"Where should we wait for him? Where should we get off the bus?"

"Hongqiao Road, he said there was a hotel over there and he went there to get some things. Luckily he paid at the beginning, otherwise he would have lost money."

The director asked Lin Yu for his opinion: "Should we still go to Hongqiao Road to check?"

Lin Yu said: "Let's go first."

In fact, he has no idea, but if he checks it out, maybe there will be clues?

When they got to Hongqiao Road, they found a hotel. They asked the front desk, "Has this person been here on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month?"

The girl at the front desk replied, "There is indeed a person wearing a raincoat."

"Can I take a look at your surveillance?"

"No need to watch the surveillance. That person still lives here?"

Lin Yu was surprised: "Are you sure? Which room does he live in?"

"No. 506, but he's not here right now. He just went out to eat. He'll be back soon, like this every day. Why don't you wait for a moment?"

Lin Yu asked her for the customer's information, registration number and ID card information, and found out that he was a tourist from another place and from the north. The murderer did come from the north, but he was not sure where he came from.

When Zeng Yan got the information, he was so happy that he thought the case would be solved soon.

Lin Yu said to the front desk: "He will be back soon, right? Then let us know when he comes back, and we will find a place to rest first."
