At lunch, a group of people gathered together to discuss.
"Do you know the case that the first team is investigating?" one of them said mysteriously.
"I know, I know." The female police officer at the front desk was the first to answer. "The woman who came to report the case and said she suspected her husband of murder was the one who received the report!"
"Didn't the body not be found and the case not filed yet?" Another male police officer who didn't know much about the case said.
"Tsk, you don't know this." The police officer who spoke first said mysteriously, "Before eating, I saw the technical department was busy and crazy. When I asked, it was the negotiation team who found the victim's blood sample and The suspect’s shoe prints.”
"So soon? Didn't that woman just report the crime not long ago?"
"Don't you know the way Team Tan works? They always act vigorously and resolutely. Blood stains and shoe prints have been found. I think this case will be solved soon."
While listening to their chat, the policewoman picked the green onions from the vegetables: "The food in this police station is getting more and more unpalatable! Hey Tan Team, here~"
As soon as she finished complaining, she saw Tan Wan coming to the cafeteria from a distance, raising her hand to enthusiastically call her to come and eat together.
As soon as she raised her hand, she was held down by a fellow police officer next to her.
"Don't scream, don't scream." A male policeman next to her pressed her hand, "Didn't you hear?"
"What did you hear?" the policewoman lowered her voice, stretched her head over and asked in a low voice.
"Don't mess with her. Officer Li was caught by the negotiation team while he was not careful while surveying the scene. He was scolded half an hour ago."
When the policewoman heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly shut her mouth and glanced in the direction of Tan Wan. Fortunately, she didn't see the table turned towards Advisor Li.
At the staff table, Li Jue and Li Dongliao arrived first.
Tanwan sat down next to Li Jue with a plate in his hands. His mood was not as bad as others had guessed. He was in a bad mood because of Li Dongliao's mistake.
He picked up a bean sprout with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and asked casually: "Have you asked Xiao He, where is she now?"
Li Dongliao put down his chopsticks and replied seriously: "I just asked five minutes ago and said that Xu Lei went to Taizhou."
"Taizhou?" A map of China appeared in Tan Wan's mind, "I remember that Xu Lei is from Wenzhou in the information. Why is he going to Taizhou?"
"This...is still unclear." Li Dongliao sat up straight and did not dare to relax at all.
Tan Wan glanced at him, lowered his head and continued eating: "Eat."
It was lunch time, and all the police station employees were gathered in the cafeteria. Many places were too crowded to accommodate anyone.
Only their table still had two vacant seats.
One is a big boss talking team, and the other is a senior consultant sent by the provincial department. Neither of them are approachable people. Except for a few people who have a good relationship, neither one dares to come over to share a seat.
Li Jue is not a talkative person, and Tan Wan's mind is filled with things about Ye Feng and the case.
Neither of them spoke. The only one at the table, Li Dongliao, was sitting on pins and needles, eating silently.
Tan Wan: "By the way, what did you and Ye Feng talk about today? Why did he come upstairs to find me after not talking for long?"
"Talk about some art things, but other than that, I just talk about you."
"Talk about me?" Tan Wan was a little surprised.
"Ye Feng has been exploring the relationship between you and me. After testing it several times, he probably thinks that I am also a policeman."
"He is really overly cautious." Tan Wan sneered, "If this kind of person has no problem, then who else has a problem?"
"Does Ye Feng's information say what his previous occupation was?" Li Jue turned to look at Tan Wan.
"E-commerce company." Tan Wan answered simply, then thought of something and looked at Li Dongliao, "It was Dongliao who did it. The suspect's information should not be wrong, right?"
"No, it can't be wrong." Li Dongliao's heart tightened and he answered quickly.
"Why are you asking this suddenly? You have never been involved in a case before." Tan Wan asked again, "Do you think there is something wrong?"
"His hand." Li Jue opened his left palm and placed it on the table to demonstrate for them.
He pointed to the metacarpophalangeal joints on the palms of his hands: "When I shook hands with him today, I could clearly feel the calluses on his palms. Calluses of that level usually don't form in a year or two."
Not only the palms of the hands, but also the pads of the fingers have two thick calluses.
"You think that a person who does e-commerce and painting shouldn't have thick calluses like that on his hands."
"Yeah, that's what makes me feel weird."
"When I was sorting out the files, I found that Ye Feng's household registration was a rural household registration. Maybe he helped adults with farm work at home at that time?" Li Dongliao added, "My dad is a farmer. He holds a hoe all the year round, and there will be thick spots on his palms. of calluses.”
Did you get it with a hoe... Tan Wan didn't refute, but she was thinking in her heart that this was impossible.
The calluses on the hands will also fade and disappear over time. It usually takes about four to five years for a relatively deep callus to slowly disappear.
And Ye Feng has been working in e-commerce for almost 15 years. Logically speaking, he should have disappeared long ago.
Even if it can't disappear completely, at least it won't be felt when people touch their hands.
"I will verify this matter again." Tan Wan lost his appetite and plucked the rice with chopsticks. "You should pay more attention to the situation at Xiao He's side. If there are any changes, Xu Lei will report to me in time."
"Yes." Li Dongliao answered.
Tan Wan nodded and gave Li Dongliao another list: "These people on the list, ask them to come to the police station in the afternoon."
Li Dongliao conducted an investigation on Ye Feng. Some of those people were Ye Feng's partners and friends, and some were friends of Xu Lei.
The personnel relationship was not complicated. Li Dongliao looked at the time, put the list into his pants pocket, and then stood up with the rice bowl in hand: "I'm going to do it now."
After Li Dongliao left, Tan Wan continued to think about the case. Looking at the bland white rice and bean sprouts in front of him, he had no intention of eating at all.
Probably seeing this, Li Jue suggested: "I was chatting with Ye Feng before and talked about a restaurant where he often goes to eat. Why don't you take a look at it at noon to see if there are any clues?"
"Dining room?"
When we got there, we found out it was a restaurant not far from the police station.
It is more than 20 kilometers away from Ye Feng's studio and almost 30 kilometers away from Ye Feng's home.
If you listen to Li Jue and believe that this is a restaurant Ye Feng often comes to, then you would be a fool to talk about it late.
He found a seat by the window and sat down. Li Jue asked the waiter to bring him the menu: "The three delicacies soup is the signature of this store. Then order your favorite fried shrimp. Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum is in season now, and it's served with shredded rice." , I don’t order much, I still have to eat some even if I’m not in the mood.”
Tan Wan didn't have the energy to fight with him, so she just followed him.
The food came quickly. The food here tasted really good. After half an hour of eating, the bottom of the plate was already gone.
After the food was in his stomach, a rare smile appeared on Tan Wan's face, and he stretched out: "If you're full of wine and food, let's move on!"
While stretching, Tan Wan looked out the window.
A familiar figure came into view.
