Everyone was anxious, and all the members of Team B joined in. They were mainly responsible for finding the suspect, the Shi family’s butler. Officer Li Qingsong wiped his face and said, “It’s been five days, and there’s nothing we can do. It’s really annoying!”

Officer Luo Jinjie exhaled: "I'm discouraged now. The enemy might be laughing over there. I'll find this bastard even if I have to dig deep into the ground."

Officer Li grinned and said to the two interns, "It's better to go slowly. You are just learning carefully."

Zhenlong Town is an old street with few corners and not much oil and water. From the map, it is the edge of the city. Such a location is also a leisurely police station. When someone takes a break, they will swap with the nearby dispatched personnel to digest internal work. The three supporting police officers are public security police, but they live there and are arranged to work nearby. Director Chang is still very considerate to his subordinates.

The daily work of Zhenlong Police Station is to help the owner of the east solve the problem of encroachment on the vegetable field, and the west family will fight each other over a disagreement. These are small lawsuits that are eye-catching. If it is more intense, it is a domestic violence dispute. The perpetrators will be detained for a few days and then they will be obedient. Even the most difficult and troublesome old troublemakers will surrender after being detained and fined twice the detention time. These are all small lawsuits. Suddenly, a big case worth millions of dollars occurred, and Officer Luo Jinjie himself was also adapting.

Public security police can be further divided into different types of police: criminal investigation, public security, traffic, household registration, entry and exit, special police, patrol, anti-cult, drug control, food and drug investigation, economic investigation, Internet monitoring, inspection, national security, prisons, foreign affairs, and technology.

Public security police are responsible for preventing, discovering and stopping crimes, maintaining public order in public places, managing special industries and dangerous goods, etc.

The main task of criminal investigation police is to investigate criminal cases and strive to bring suspects to justice. Traffic police are the managers of road traffic, and there are also forest police and judicial police. The types of police are gradually refined to speed up the progress of cases.

After discussing it, the two police officers decided to first inquire about the situation from Shi’s employees and neighbors to see if they could find any clues about Li Shufu.

So, the four of them began to visit and investigate, with the old leading the new, forming a team of two. They first found Shijing Village, where the Shi family was built outside the village, or at the end of the village. After passing a small green forest, they could see a quadrangle with two entrances made of blue bricks and gray tiles. There was no grand Ruyi Gate, only a three-meter-wide entrance pavilion, two doors made of logs, and two bold characters carved on the lintel: Shi's House.

The decoration does not adopt the red and green of the traditional courtyard house, but is all solid wood in original color. The walls are planted with ornamental green bamboos. In the flowerbed in front of the house, you can occasionally see a potted pine, a few pots of daffodils that look like leeks, some unknown small wild flowers, and two hibiscus trees that are growing well, which are said to be able to ward off evil spirits. It is a standard configuration for farmers. The entire Shi residence is low-key and exudes a literary atmosphere. It is more like a simple old academy.

After showing his police officer ID, the gatekeeper cooperated and called over a manager, saying that it was the newly promoted butler named Shi Zhemin. Several people sat in the Shi family's reception meeting room, and Officer Luo asked directly about Li Shufu's situation.

The new housekeeper Shi Zhemin looks to be in his early 30s, about 172cm tall, with a pale complexion that doesn't look like a farmer. He has regular features, thick eyebrows, big eyes and thick lips, giving people a very stable feeling. Today he is wearing a white shirt and blue trousers, with an old-fashioned yellow cowhide buckle belt tied around his waist, a bit like a rural teacher.

Holding a large water cup with the words "Serve the People" written on it, he said slowly, "I also heard from others that Li Shufu is a distant relative of the previous housekeeper of the Shi family. I was previously in charge of the Shi family rice shop and was always in charge of running errands. I rarely interacted with him and barely saw him for two months. Recently, I have only taken over the position of housekeeper for three days. Yesterday, the eldest young master asked me to take inventory again, and all the physical objects do match."

Luo Jinjie asked naturally: "Have you heard any bad things about him, such as gambling, quarreling with others... Also, his family situation, how many children does he have? And so on~"

Shi Zhemin said awkwardly, "I really don't know what's going on in the inner courtyard. I'm a grown man, usually busy moving rice and delivering goods. I don't even have time to eat. Who would gossip about these things?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll call a few housekeepers over. They should know something." Officer Luo nodded, "Okay."

Soon, two people who said they were in the kitchen and a middle-aged woman who was doing housework were brought in. The three of them were not timid. The middle-aged woman complained: "I think he is not a good person. Whenever there is a new woman, his eyes are almost glued to her chest. And... "

The two kitchen workers laughed: "Sister Wu, you always say that your eyesight is blurry due to old age, but you really looked carefully this time."

Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes at the two of them and said, "I am nearsighted, but I can see clearly from a distance. I am not making this up. Two years ago, he slept with your boss's wife. How despicable." Myopia does not affect my farsightedness...

The older kitchen worker couldn't help but rant: "He's such a jerk. He didn't even let his brother's wife go. He didn't care about his own wife and children. I heard he even had an affair with a widow and helped her raise her children. When he ran out of money, he stole old things from the Shi family and sold them."

Officer Li Qingsong asked cautiously, "Where does the widow live? Can you lead the way?"

: "Excuse me, what should I call you?"

The old cook replied, "Officer, my name is Xia Yu, I can lead the way. On the 14th, the night before the incident, I ate too much and went out to digest the food. I saw Li Shufu hurriedly leaving the Shi family with a large box. I don't know what he stole. Now I think he had planned to escape."

The Shi Yian brothers deliberately blocked the news that Master Shi had been abducted. They asked him if he was hospitalized because of illness, and it was normal for someone of old age to be hospitalized. No one in the lower levels of the Shi family cared about the younger person.

Officer Li then asked, "Xia Yu, can you describe what the big box looked like? And what tools did Li Shufu use to carry it away?"

Xia Yu recalled: "The big box was about 1.5 meters long and 80 centimeters wide, made of wood. It was stuffed too full and some things fell to the ground. I heard the sound of metal colliding, and he picked it up and stuffed it back. Li Shufu seemed to be pushing it with a cart. It was too dark at the time, so I couldn't see clearly."

Officer Li thought for a moment, then said to Xia Yu, "Thank you for the clue. If you remember any other details, feel free to contact us."

Then, Officer Li turned to the others and said, "Let's go to the widow's house first." The group followed Xia Yu to the widow's house.
