Chapter 237 The Secret in the Basement

why?
Facing Chen Xia's question, Li Weidong also couldn't give an answer.

Unless you meet Romon Lokoff.

But before, both Chen Xia and Deputy Factory Director Li have already indicated that it is almost impossible to see each other.

"Really him?"

In the end, Chen Xia crushed out the smoke fiercely, then raised his head, staring at Li Weidong with red eyes.

"It can only be him."

Li Weidong nodded, and then continued: "Actually, if you want to be sure of this, you only need to go to the place where he originally lived in the factory, and maybe you can find some clues."

"Walk."

Hearing Li Weidong's words, Chen Xia didn't hesitate at all.

It was a bit difficult to see Romon Lokov, who was recuperating, but since the other party was no longer in the rolling mill, it was very easy to go to the place where he lived before.

It's just that no one suspected the other party before, and the other party's identity was more sensitive.

So neither Chen Xia nor the people from the rolling mill thought of searching Romonlokov's residence.

With Chen Xia taking the lead, the group soon arrived at Romon Lokoff's home in the rolling mill.

It was an independent two-story building with a pond in front of it, many trees were planted around it, and there was a wall around it. It was also located on the side of the living area of ​​the rolling mill, so it was very quiet.

This is obviously specially prepared by the rolling mill for Romon Rokov, and it even has a lot of northern characteristics.

"Expert Romonlokov usually hates outsiders entering his place. Normally, only the cleaner, Ji Wenze, is qualified to enter. How about I ask the leader first?"

People from the security department of the rolling mill led the way, but when they reached the door, they hesitated.

The main reason is that he heard that someone had entered the small building without permission before, which caused the expert Romonlokoff to lose his temper. In the end, the factory manager came to the door to apologize, and it was considered to be uncovered.

Since then, people from their security department dare not approach even if they patrol here at night.

For fear of getting into trouble.

So if the members of the task force wanted to enter the small building, he wanted to retreat.

There will be people from the task force here, but what about when they leave?
Looking back, expert Romon Lokov came back and found out about this matter, but he couldn't find the person in the task force, can't he still be found?

"Is there a key?"

Chen Xia didn't pay attention to the other party's words at all, and asked directly.

"No."

The security staff quickly shook their heads, how could he have the key here.

"Go away without a key, Xiao Zhou, you come and open the door."

Following Chen Xia's words, a young man behind him stepped forward, first glanced at the keyhole, and then took out a special knife.

A few seconds later, with a click, the door was opened.

The room was pitch black, and the light of a few flashlights shone in.

When the light switch is found and turned on, the inside is clearly visible.

The furnishings in the house are somewhat luxurious, with sofas, large tables, wine cabinets, and a large fireplace.

The style is completely decorated according to Romon Lokoff's preferences.

"Search carefully for me, don't let go of any clues."

Chen Xia gave an order, and the task force dispersed.

Although they didn't know why they searched Romon Lokov's residence, they could somewhat guess something from the grim expression of their team leader.

I couldn't help being a little surprised, especially when passing by Li Weidong, I looked at him carefully from the corner of my eye.

After all, this is the only one who can make the captain make such a big change.

Reminiscent of Li Weidong's previous judgment, the answer is ready to come out.

None of the people who can be selected into the task force is a fool.

Even Luo Jinxin was just dazzled by prejudice before. After being scolded and seeing Li Weidong's true level, he will walk with his head shrunk instead of questioning.

The small building was cleaned very clean. It can be seen that the cleaners are still very hardworking, but there is nothing suspicious about the rest.

However, Chen Xia was not shaken by this, but turned his attention to Li Weidong.

"Is there a basement here?" Li Weidong asked after thinking about it.

Normally, 100% of this small building will be equipped with a basement. As for the reason, just listen to its other name to know.

dugout.

refuge.

This is also a major feature of today.

Li Weidong believed that given the importance attached to Romonlokov by the rolling mill, it was impossible to ignore this point.

With Li Weidong's tip, a hidden basement entrance was found soon.

However, when they entered the basement, everyone looked at the furnishings inside in a daze.

This is the basement?
Iron chains, brazier irons, leather whips, and other tools of torture.

This is clearly an early interrogation room.

Could this be left over from the past?

Forgot to take it away?

Perhaps even the Romonlokoff specialists do not know?

But soon, these questions were rejected.

Because the basement is very clean, it doesn't look like no one has been here all year round, and even the torture tools are not rusty, look at the color, and are even used frequently.

But this is obviously the place where Romon Lokoff lives, and no one comes here except him.

So what is he building such a basement for?
Can't he still interrogate the enemy?
And who was being interrogated?

Compared to others who were still thinking about the purpose of these instruments of torture, Chen Xia was the first to think of a certain possibility, and his face became even more ugly.

Previously, Li Weidong had analyzed Ji Wenze's situation in detail with him, saying that the other party must have undergone some huge changes, and there was a psychological shadow that led to a split personality.

The reunion happened after he became Romon Lokov's assistant.

So it is self-evident who these instruments of torture are used on.

A clear image belonging to Ji Wenze also appeared in his heart.

Ji Wenze may be pitiful, sad.

But not worthy of sympathy.

Because he vented the misery that Romon Lokov imposed on him, and in almost the same way, he vented it on his wife and children.

He didn't have the ability, and he didn't even dare to resist Romon Lokov, but he attacked his closest relatives.

So he is pitiful, but also hateful.

Originally, Chen Xia only believed [-]% of Li Weidong's judgment.

Now, it is ten percent.

In any case, Romon Lokoff has become the biggest suspect at present.

It's just that in the small building, apart from the basement, no other useful things were found, and it's impossible to convict someone just by relying on the things in the basement.

"Take a photo of the original here and keep it on file."

Chen Xia ordered with a gloomy face.

And Li Weidong walked around the basement and checked it carefully.

Some of the instruments of torture, or in the corners, were faintly stained with blood.

It's a pity that the technology is underdeveloped now, and there is no DNA testing technology. Otherwise, based on these bloodstains, it can basically be confirmed that it came from Ji Wenze.

That would make things easier.

At the same time, he became more and more certain that Ji Wenze might have really been killed.

And the murderer pointed directly at Romon Lokoff.

The so-called stealing of confidential information was entirely directed and acted by him.

"Leader."

Li Weidong stepped forward and looked at Chen Xia.

The latter naturally understood what he meant, and was silent for a few seconds before nodding vigorously.

"You come with me."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xia gave an order and left quickly with Li Weidong.

The two returned to the small building where the task force was located, and Chen Xia was about to get in the car without saying a word.

"and many more."

"what happened?"

Chen Xia looked at Li Weidong who was holding him back with some confusion.

"I'm coming!"

Li Weidong really couldn't trust Chen Xia's driving skills, especially at night, for the sake of his own safety, he could only bite the bullet.

Although he had never driven this kind of jeep before, when Chen Xia drove it before, he sat on the sidelines and watched it.

Three forward gears and one reverse gear.

As an old driver, I believe it will definitely not be difficult for him.

No matter how ugly this old-fashioned jeep is, it is still safer to drive than Chen Xia.

"Can you drive?"

Chen Xia asked in surprise.

After all, driver is a very popular profession these days. Let alone ordinary people who know how to drive, it is estimated that except for the buses that often run in the city, they have never taken this kind of jeep.

"Yes, I learned from others when I was on the farm. It is no problem to liberate the car, let alone this little jeep."

Li Weidong spoke nonsense with his eyes open.

The point is, Chen Xia doesn't know.

"Alright, I'll show you the way."

Chen Xia didn't hesitate, anyway, he didn't like to drive it very much.

The reason why I drove here in the morning was mainly to pull Li Weidong.

Li Weidong was also polite, and directly sat in the co-pilot, seemingly "skilled" in ignition.

Once, twice, three times.

Chen Xia next to him has a slightly wrong expression, does he know how to drive?
Just when he couldn't help but want to switch, Li Weidong finally got the hang of it.

When this jeep is turned on, you have to step on the accelerator, unlike the cars of later generations, you only need to step on the clutch or brake.

After starting the fire, Li Weidong fumbled in front again.

"What are you looking for?"

Chen Xia couldn't help but speak.

"Where's the headlight switch?"

Li Weidong asked.

This kind of old-fashioned jeep is really too old, and it's his first time driving it, so it's normal not to find it.

"Or I'll drive it."

Chen Xia turned on the headlights with a dark face, and then said.

What Li Weidong said just now was full of confidence, so he believed it.

But this time, seeing Li Weidong's performance, his confidence plummeted.

"No, I will drive."

Li Weidong said "stubbornly", stepped on the clutch skillfully, and put it in forward gear.

"Pfft."

After a jerk and a sudden jump forward, the car stopped immediately.

For Li Weidong, who is only used to driving cars with automatic transmission, this kind of manual transmission is undoubtedly much unfamiliar.

Although it was covered by the darkness, Chen Xia's face was no different from the bottom of the pot at this moment, his right hand was tightly grasping the handrail, as if if something went wrong, he would jump off the car.

Fortunately, after several attempts, Li Weidong was finally able to barely hit the road.

It wasn't until the jeep left the factory gate quickly and slowly that the jeep began to obey Li Weidong's mercy.

Chen Xia showed the way, and Li Weidong stepped on the accelerator hard.

There was no feeling of pushing back, and with the violent trembling and roaring sound, the jeep slowly began to accelerate.

Two 10 minutes later.

The jeep drove to the gate of a community with guards standing guard at the gate.
