Chapter 83 Qi Baoguo

We waited here for nearly an hour before Officer Qi arrived. He walked here by himself, without any tools in his hands, still wearing the same police uniform, and his trouser legs were still frozen into lumps of ice.

After Officer Qi arrived, he chased away the onlookers and closed the door before entering Grandma Li's house to check the scene. He saw that the victim was lying prone on the ground with scars on the back of his head. The preliminary judgment was homicide.A person hit the back of the victim's head with a blunt object, resulting in the death of the victim.

Officer Qi checked other rooms in Grandma Li’s house, but found no murder weapon. A window on the balcony was open. Since there was no professional tool to detect fingerprints and footprints, Officer Qi checked around and asked us to close the window. closed.Officer Qi asked us again, what is missing at home?I took a look, and the only thing we brought to Grandma Li was a charcoal stove, which was placed next to the sofa.

"Probably a large piece of pork, some rice and charcoal. I don't know about the rest."

"When I first came, the door of the unit was open."

"I just pushed that away, just to see if outsiders entered the unit to commit crimes." Jiang Zhi explained beside him.

Officer Qi nodded after hearing this, and continued: "The window on the balcony is open, but just now I saw that there were no footprints below, and it didn't snow today. If there were footprints, they wouldn't be covered up so quickly, so it should be The criminals opened it on purpose to confuse everyone, and thus ruled out the possibility of outsiders committing the crime.” Officer Qi looked at us and continued, “It should be an acquaintance who committed the crime. At home, the victim was probably killed in the middle of the living room."

"As for the motive of committing the crime, the preliminary judgment should be caused by those foods." Officer Qi looked at us again after speaking.

My heart throbbed with what Officer Qi said. Although through our analysis, we also guessed that the incident was done by the neighbors, but after listening to Officer Qi, the cause was those materials, I still couldn’t help thinking, I indirectly killed Grandma Li. If I hadn't meddled in my business and sent so much food to Grandma Li, maybe Grandma Li would be fine.

Jiang Zhi saw the self-blame in my heart and said, "Don't think about it, it's not your fault."

Then he turned around and asked Officer Qi, "What should we do now?"

Officer Qi looked at the door and said, "Now you lock this room first. Let's go upstairs and talk."

Both Jiang Zhi and I saw that Officer Qi still had something to say to us, so we put away Grandma Li's body and waited for further processing when it was confirmed. We locked the door and went back upstairs together.

When I got back to my home, I didn't hear the cries of a few children. They should have calmed down in the bedroom.

Father Jiang came out of the bedroom when he heard the door open, and knowing that I was worried about the children, he whispered to me, "The children are all tired from crying and have fallen asleep in the bedroom."

I was relieved to know that the kids were all right.

I poured Officer Qi a cup of hot water and wanted to sit on the sofa and listen to what Officer Qi had to say.But Jiang Zhi first asked me to cook something for Officer Qi, and Officer Qi didn’t refuse, so I didn’t say anything else. I heated half a pot of haggis soup for him on the stove, put a curtain on the pot, and put A few big steamed buns go up.

While the meal was heating up, Officer Qi began to say: "This case should be done by people in your unit, at least they are participants."

Jiang Zhi and I didn't say anything because we didn't know what to say.

Police officer Qi added: "Among the people who were watching just now, some of them didn't have straight eyes."

I hurriedly asked, "Who are they all?"

Officer Qi thought for a while, "There is a young man wearing a black down jacket with a fur collar. He is not too tall and has a height of more than 170 centimeters. He has a long face and small eyes..."

Before Police Officer Qi could finish his description, I shouted, "I see, he lives on the first floor of our house, and lives across the street from Grandma Li's."

Jiang Zhi also remembered him: "Well, he seems to be a civil servant, a young man who is usually quite good at getting things done."

Officer Qi went on to say: "There is also a middle-aged man in a black down jacket, about 175 centimeters tall, with a round face and long and thick eyebrows. Just now I saw a middle-aged woman who always glanced at him. His expression is not very natural."

Jiang Zhi said: "This is a resident on the third floor. His surname is Li, and he seems to be called Li Mingjun. He rented a stall selling seasonings in the market in front of our house. The one next to him should be Aunt Liu who lives opposite his house."

Officer Qi saw that Jiang Zhi had matched his number, so he went on to say: "There are two other women, one is in her 40s and a bit fat, and the other is a young woman wearing a red down jacket. down jacket……"

As soon as I heard the colors of the two down jackets, I knew who Officer Qi was talking about, "I know, it's the Zhang family's mother and daughter upstairs from our house, and it was their son who came to our house to steal a month ago."

"Well, as long as you know who it is, you should pay more attention to it in the future, but it's just that they are suspected, it doesn't mean that other people can't be the murderer."

I heard from Officer Qi that this murder case is just like this. If we want to find the murderer, let us find it ourselves.No, he's a policeman.

"Officer Qi, since you suspect those people, shouldn't you ask them to understand the situation?"

Officer Qi smiled after hearing what I said, "I am no longer a policeman, so I can only help you so much."

This news is too shocking, why is it not the police? Didn't they come as soon as the report was made, and they were still wearing police uniforms.

Jiang Zhi also frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Zhi also felt that there must be some reason for this incident. It is impossible for a good policeman to quit suddenly.

Officer Qi said sadly: "City D's police force is seriously insufficient now. Many grassroots policemen have resigned and returned home."

"why?"

Officer Qi looked at the pot sitting on the stove, "Why else, it's for food. Since our city was hit by a snowstorm, not many people in the entire city of D are still sticking to their jobs. The police are also human, There are also family members who want to eat. Now there is no place to buy food with money. We can only barter with people. The police spend all their time on maintaining law and order. When others rush to the supermarket to buy food, we are maintaining Order, when others cut down trees, we are catching thieves, we don’t care about it, but our family also suffers from cold and starvation, we are too incompetent as sons, husbands, and fathers .

Two days ago, a colleague of our police station worked for several days in a row. When he got home from get off work, he found that his old father had frozen to death at home for several days. "

Officer Qi was very excited when he said it, and we were also very worried when we heard it.

Officer Qi wiped his face with his hands, and then said: "So, some colleagues want to resign and find a place outside to cut down some trees and exchange some rice and charcoal. I don't know when the bad weather will get better. But the above Don't let it go, saying that there are few police officers now, and no one will maintain law and order when we leave this area, but everyone has already decided, let's take care of Xiaojia first. We all went home, so now we should be absent from work without reason People can wear this skin to frighten people, but they can’t do investigations.”

Officer Qi explained why he couldn't help us investigate the case, looked at us and said, "You're right, it's better to prepare more supplies than anything else, just to understand that the word "wealth is not revealed" is very reasonable. "He said and pointed to the charcoal stove next to the sofa and the pot on top of the charcoal stove.

"Then there are no police officers in the police station in our area?" I thought about the fact that no one answered my call to the police station today, so I asked.

"There's no one left. We've all gone home. But we still have some policemen in City D who take care of everyone's homes. Ha~ha~, our awareness is not high enough." Officer Qi laughed at himself a few times as he spoke. , and then fell silent again.

"Then no one cares about the murder that happened downstairs?" Jiang Zhi asked.

"Why is no one caring? Didn't I come in a police uniform?" Officer Qi patted his uniform and said.

We know the importance of this news. Now everyone still doesn't know that the police station is useless, so some criminals have some ideas that are just ideas. If everyone knows that the police station is empty, will there be a quiet life in the future?
Jiang Zhi sank for a while and said, "Thank you, Officer Qi, you can come, whether you can solve the case or not, you are helping me and our building."

I was taken aback when I heard Jiang Zhi say that, and then I figured it out.Our building does not stop, or Grandma Li would not die today. Police officer Qi came today, just to deter criminals, but I don’t know how much effect it will have and how long it will last.

"Today's case is basically determined to be done by an acquaintance, but there is no way to catch him now, so you should pay attention in the future. Your family is now a fat sheep in the eyes of others." Officer Qi reminded us.

Yes, thanks to my greediness, the smell of meat has wafted from our house several times. The Zhang family upstairs also knew that we have meat to eat when they came. Although we explained it, we don’t know if they believe it or not.And we helped Grandma Li, everyone in this unit should know about it, and everyone would think that our family has a lot of supplies, and if we can’t get enough to eat, we won’t help others.

I am a little regretful now, I was too hasty in doing things, too thoughtless.

"We will pay attention to it in the future. What about our neighbor's corpse? It can't be placed in the house." Jiang Zhi said considering the current situation downstairs.

"Now there is no fuel in the crematorium, so if there are dead people, they should be put in the morgue first. The weather is so cold and you are not afraid of bad weather. After the disaster is over, they will be cremated." Officer Qi talked about the way to deal with the dead now. "but……"

Officer Qi stopped speaking halfway.
