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

Captain Xu looked at Ye Lin and signaled Ye Lin to ask the question, and Ye Lin did not delay.

"Boss Wang, is there anyone in your factory at night? Or is there anyone living in the factory?"

"No one lives here, and we generally don't work overtime at night."

"There's just an old man who's a gatekeeper. But although he's called a gatekeeper, he's actually just a decoration and can't do anything. Sometimes he doesn't even lock the door. But he's a relative of my wife, so there's nothing I can do." Wang Fugui shook his head.

"So if an employee returns to the factory and does something, no one will know about it?"

Wang Fugui's hand, which was pouring tea, stopped in mid-air. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, that's the truth. The main door of my factory is a little far from the factory. If the door is closed, no one will know if I'm working inside."

"But this doesn't mean that it was done by our employees, right?"

"That's a bit far-fetched, officer."

Mr. Wang said before that he would cooperate, but when he mentioned that it might be his employees who did it, he became a little anxious.

Ye Lin understands this mentality. If it’s none of my business, I’ll cooperate with him in any way I can.

Once it might be related to me, that’s another matter.

Ye Lin was not in a hurry. He smiled and said, "Boss Wang, don't worry. There are many places that meet the conditions for committing the crime, not just your place. We are asking according to the usual practice."

Hearing everyone asking the same question, Wang Fugui calmed down a bit. That's right. Everyone should be the same.

In fact, the so-called "everyone" only includes his family.

"Then do you remember whether your factory worked overtime on the night of the incident?"

"I remember that the police came to question us at that time. We had a batch of goods during that period, so we worked overtime for an hour. We finished the goods at 6:, and then they let the people go."

There is no one left after 6:, except for an old man, who often does not lock the door, providing endless possibilities.

"Then may I ask, what were your main businesses at that time?"

"Oh, we're meat processors. It doesn't matter what we do, we can do anything. We mainly do rough processing of meat, cutting, freezing, packaging or chopping."

"I also made pickled food, cured duck and cured meat. Anyway, I did whatever could make money."

"Oh, I also made sausages, but they turned ugly." Wang Fugui said with a smile, feeling like he had returned to the glory days when he ran the factory.

"Mainly chickens and ducks?"

"We have everything, chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, but there is less mutton, which is not popular here."

Haizhou is close to the south and people here don't really eat mutton. They mainly eat pork and beef. Plus, there's plenty of water, so ducks are raised in large quantities and are cheap.

"So what is the size of your staff? Do you have a staff roster from ten years ago?"

Wang Fugui said: "My factory usually has 20 to 30 employees. The number is not fixed. As you know, business has been up and down over the years. When business is good, I hire some people, and when business is bad, I have to lay them off."

"So you asked me about the roster from ten years ago. I really don't have it, but the police checked it at that time, so you should have the record."

Ye Lin looked at Captain Xu, who nodded, "Don't worry, the case was investigated very carefully at the time, so there must be records."

As long as it's there, I'll go back and check it out.

"After the incident, were there any people who suddenly resigned or simply disappeared?"

"No, the first person to leave was three months later, and it was a layoff."

"Can you easily answer questions about what happened ten years ago?" Ye Lin looked at Wang Fugui with a scrutinizing gaze.

Wang Fugui smiled bitterly and looked at Ye Lin, "Comrade, I don't want to remember it either. The problem is that you have investigated this case so many times and asked the same question no less than 5 times. Do you think I can remember it?"

Ye Lin understood after this explanation. Captain Xu also said that they had been investigating for more than two years. According to the police's approach to handling cases, when all clues are cut off, they have to go back and start over again.

So in the past two years, the matter must have been checked repeatedly. Ye Lin understood this, as everyone did the same.

"Okay, let's learn about this first, and we may contact you again during this period."

"Okay, I'm about to retire anyway, and I don't work. I usually just go hiking or something. If you have any questions, just ask me directly." Wang Fugui was quite straightforward.

After saying goodbye to Wang Fugui, Captain Xu returned to the bureau and began to look through the information from the investigation of the Hefeng Food Processing Factory.

When all the information was dragged out, Ye Lin was shocked. There were five large boxes in total.

"Captain Xu, so many?"

Captain Xu wiped his sweat and said, "We have been investigating the whole city for two years. Do you think it is too much?"

"You guys do your work really carefully." Ye Lin sighed.

"What's the use of being so careful? We still haven't caught the person." Director Feng's voice came from behind. He rushed back after the meeting.

"Captain Ye, we in Haizhou have been investigating for ten years but have no clues. This time you must help us solve the case." Director Feng said, holding Ye Lin's hand.

"Director Feng, look at what you said. There were no clues before, but now that we have clues, it will be easy for Captain Xu to catch him." Ye Lin would not accept this compliment and offend people, as if he was better than all the police in Haizhou.

Director Feng smiled, pointed at Ye Lin and said, "You are so smart."

As he spoke, he called all the people together, sat at the head of the table and said sternly, "Xiao Ye, I'm not trying to flatter you. In fact, we have been investigating this for many years."

"My thinking is a bit rigid. I am investigating according to the ideas of my predecessors. It is difficult to make any breakthroughs."

"You are from another place, and your professional ability is beyond doubt, so I think this case should be led by you. If you can lead the thinking, maybe there will be a different effect."

"what do you say?"

Everyone looked at Ye Lin.

Ye Lin smiled helplessly. Director Feng’s words were too nice to be rejected.

"Okay, since Director Feng thinks highly of me, I will give it a try. I will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible."

As for not being able to catch it?

That's not what he would think. Even the most cunning murderer would have a flaw, and he didn't believe that he couldn't find it.

When he heard Ye Lin agreed, Director Feng slapped the table happily, stood up and said, "Okay, it's settled then, don't regret it."

"Come on, tell us and we will listen to you."

"No, Director Feng, I don't know anything about the case. What can I say?" Ye Lin was speechless. He had just gotten involved in the case and didn't understand many things.

"Yeah, that's right. Then you should get familiar with it as soon as possible. We have been waiting for ten years. One more day is not a big deal."

"Tomorrow, I'll come and listen to you tomorrow."

After saying that, Director Feng picked up his bag and ran away.

Since he had accepted the task, Ye Lin started working directly. The most important thing was the basic situation of the case and the part about the Hefeng Food Processing Plant.
