As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

Dashan touched the pistol on his waist. These people were quite smart. If they dared to do anything wrong, they would suffer the consequences.

After saying goodbye to Jin Niang, Zhao Dashan also went back.

When Dashan returned to the construction site, Zhao Facheng was rarely drinking, and there was no one in the room.

He was a little surprised and walked out of the room to look. Downstairs, Zhao Facheng was with a group of co-workers, and he didn't know what they were discussing.

It was around eleven o'clock in the evening when Zhao Facheng returned to the dormitory.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Dashan lying on the bed. He sat over with a flushed face and asked excitedly, "Do you still have the IOU that Manager Zhang gave us last year?"

Zhao Dashan's heart skipped a beat. He had just taken out this IOU and asked Zhang Yuan for money last night. Why was he suddenly asking about it now?

"Yes, what's the matter?" he asked calmly.

"That's good." Zhao Facheng said in a low voice, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face, "We plan to go to the police station together tomorrow to ask for money."

"Take the IOU with you."

"Ask the police? Aren't the police investigating how he died? Can they give money?" Zhao Dashan didn't quite understand what this matter had to do with the police.

"You are just too honest. Zhang Yuan, that bastard, do you think he will pay us if he doesn't die? Humph." Zhao Facheng said with a sneer.

"Several of the big contractors said that this guy used our money to speculate in stocks. We don't know whether he made a profit or a loss. He never planned to give it to us."

"When he was alive, we didn't dare to mess with him. Now that he is dead, he must return the money to us." Zhao Facheng said fiercely.

"Shall we cause trouble in front of the police station?" Zhao Dashan asked tentatively.

"It's not really a riot. We just put up a banner and shouted a few slogans. Isn't that what they do on TV? Don't be afraid. There are many of us. The police won't dare to do anything." Zhao Facheng comforted him. He thought Zhao Dashan was scared.

Yes, Zhao Dashan was afraid, but he was not afraid of causing trouble. He was afraid that if a conflict broke out and he was caught, the gun on him would be exposed.

Seeing Zhao Dashan's hesitation, Zhao Facheng showed a look of contempt on his face. This man was too honest, not presentable enough, and incapable of doing big things. If several big contractors had not said to bring as many people as possible along, he would not have bothered to call Dashan.

"Everyone is going tomorrow. If you don't go, people won't call us next time when there's work." Zhao Facheng said half-persuasive and half-threateningly.

Zhao Dashan nodded silently and had no choice but to go along, otherwise he would appear too eccentric and would be more likely to arouse suspicion.

......

Late at night, Ye Lin was still studying the shooting case.

According to his thinking, since the three cases were committed by the same person or the same group of people, there must be a connection.

In the Wuzhou case, the victims were the village chief of Zhaojia Village, his father and his two sons, as well as the police station director. Some of the murderers were killed with guns and some with knives. The number of murderers is unknown, and it is unknown whether any money was lost. The murderer set fire to the scene.

In the Dingzhou case, the victims were the black car driver and his accomplices, a total of three people. Only guns were used at the scene, and they were all killed with one shot. The clues were washed away by heavy rain, and no money was lost.

In the Yuezhou case, the deceased was the project manager Zhang Yuan, who was shot to death. His cash was looted, but his luxury watches were intact.

Ye Lin drew the clues on the blackboard bit by bit.

Number of murderers?

In the three serial cases, the police had no idea how many people committed the crimes from beginning to end. Judging from the wounds of the victims in the Wuzhou case, there were knife wounds and gunshot wounds. It could have been one person or multiple people.

But in the Dingzhou case, Ye Lin drew a heavy circle on the three people. There were only three illegal taxi drivers, and from the scene, they were holding iron bars.

According to Ye Lin's own guess, the probability of the murderer being alone is much higher. If there are many people, the black car driver is not stupid either. It is still uncertain what the result will be when it is three against two.

Moreover, according to the case files, there are often illegal taxi drivers at the Dingzhou bus station who extort single or female passengers.

So Ye Lin silently wrote a "1" on the number of murderers.

Another thing that made Ye Lin absolutely puzzled was the issue of money. Not to mention the Wuzhou case, the three illegal taxi drivers in the Dingzhou case had cash on them, and the murderer did not take the money even though he had plenty of time.

In the Yuezhou case, the place where Zhang Yuan was killed was only ten meters away from the place where they were having a barbecue. At such a close distance, the murderer was still risking being discovered at any time as he searched for cash from Zhang Yuan.

What does this mean?

This means that the murderer is short of money now. It may be due to some special reason. He is in urgent need of money. Generally speaking, it is because he is in debt or someone in his family is sick and needs surgery or other reasons. This is uncertain.

Ye Lin wrote a few more words next to the murderer: Urgent need for money.

Thinking of the operation, Ye Lin inexplicably thought of the little girl he saw in the People's Square tonight. Now thinking about it, the child should have a heart disease, and her illness was probably serious. She would not last long without the operation. After the case was over, Ye Lin planned to go and see her.

"Linzi, are you still thinking about it?" Yu Haifeng walked over.

Looking at the words Ye Lin wrote next to the murderer, he read softly: "A person, in urgent need of money."

"Is this what you deduced?"

"Well, I'm not sure yet. I think based on the current clues, the murderer should have these two characteristics."

"What about another one? It's the killing by shooting mentioned in the first two cases. What do you think about it?" Yu Haifeng asked.

Ye Lin knew that he was talking about a strange point in these three cases, that is, every shot was to the head.

To be honest, let alone the police, even if the special police came, it would be difficult to shoot every target in the head.

Let’s forget about the Yuezhou case, that was close-range shooting, so it’s possible.

But in the Dingzhou case, the three black car drivers had three bullets scattered far away, and their death locations were also very different. It was absolutely impossible that they were shot to death, so the Dingzhou police were sure that the murderer was definitely a professional killer.

A professional killer first killed the people in Zhaojia Village to steal their guns, then killed three illegal taxi drivers in Dingzhou, and then killed Zhang Yuan and took several thousand yuan. It is very likely that the murderer had been to the Yuezhou construction site or worked there.

Killers working as migrant workers? This logic doesn't make sense.

Ye Lin was speechless. He couldn't explain it, so he could only shake his head and said, "Maybe he is a natural born sharpshooter."

"Where do so many sharpshooters come from? They are born that way. Why don't you take a rest early and change your brain?" Yu Haifeng cursed with a smile and went on with his own business.

Ye Lin silently wrote the third line of words next to the murderer: Suspected sharpshooter.

So far, the only useful things Ye Lin could sort out were these three lines:

A person.

I need money urgently.

Suspected sharpshooter.

After writing these three lines, Ye Lin turned his attention to Zhang Yuan's case again.
