"Maybe...someone doesn't want us to know that Wang Daniao is dead." Li Zhenguo said.
"If that's the case, it makes sense to cut off his head, so why cut off his genitals?" Wu Xiang still couldn't understand.
"I think it probably has the same meaning as cutting off his head." Gao Chongjiu pondered for a moment and said, "Captain Wu, do you know how the nickname Wang Daniao came about?"
It turned out that Wang Daniao was "endowed with extraordinary talents", had "magnificent equipment", and was a very charming woman, so his colleagues in the yamen gave him such a nickname. After going back and forth, his real name was concealed.
"I used to go to the bathhouse with him, and the size of his body was really amazing." Gao Chongjiu showed a lewd smile on his face, "Wang Daniao is a very lecherous guy. He has several wives and concubines at home, and they are still messing around outside. Flirting with women. He is very famous in the yamen."
There is some truth to this statement, and the detectives decided to first confirm whether the body belonged to Wang DaNiao.
How to verify? Wang DaNiao was in a hurry when he escaped and only took away his son and wife. There are still a few female relatives left at home. If you find a few who have had sex with Wang Daniao over, you should be able to tell something about them.
Wu Xiang sent several policemen to Wang's house - although Wang's house had not been raided, but was under surveillance - they sent several of Wang Dayiao's wives over.
After identification, it was confirmed that the headless corpse in Nanjianzi Lane was Wang Daniao!
Several items of clothing found at the scene were identified and confirmed to be Wang Daniao's belongings.
This greatly increases the possibility that Li Zhenguo's inferred beheading and genital mutilation was to conceal the identity of the victim.
"After three or four days of hard work, we finally reached the starting point." Wu Xiang said with emotion.
Once the identity of the victim is found out, the investigation of the murder case begins.
The case has developed to this point, and the police have roughly sorted out the entire process of the crime.
The victim, Wang Daniao, has been hiding in Widow Wang's home for more than a month. During this period, the murderer frequently visited Widow Wang's home to meet with him. The murderer came late and left early, spending the night at Wang's house with the obvious intention of concealing his identity. Wang DaNiao was in an unexpected situation, yet he met him frequently and even stayed with the murderer overnight, which shows that not only did the two know each other, but they also had an unusual relationship. The two of them were probably secretly planning something.
For some reason, the murderer decided to kill Wang DaNiao. The motive for the killing was probably to seize something. Wu Xiang believes that what the murderer wants is probably a "gou map".
For Wang DaNiao, the most important thing is this ditch map. When he ran away from home, he didn't want any gold or silver, but only took this ditch map with him. Because of its importance, the groove map was probably something he carried with him.
However, based on existing clues, it is unclear whether the murderer obtained the ditch map.
In the process of killing Wang DaNiao, Widow Wang acted as an accomplice. Judging from the fact that Wang Xiuzhu participated in the work of disposing of the corpse, she was probably not coerced, but was originally with the murderer. The fact that the murderer silenced her shows that Wang Xiuzhu probably knows a lot of important information - at least he knows what the murderer and Wang Daniao were talking about.
After discussion, the task force decided to start the investigation from the surrounding interpersonal relationships of Wang Dayiao, Wang Dong and Wang Xiuzhu. At the same time, they are trying to find Wang Dong's whereabouts - the task force believes that Wang Dong is likely to have another residence in Guangzhou. A young man who loves to enjoy himself would probably not be content to spend his days dormant in a corner. It should be easier to find him.
Liu Xiang put down the latest issue of "Public Security Briefing" sent by Mu Min and said to Lin Baiguang: "It seems that things are not simple yet."
Lin Baiguang nodded: "There is no doubt about it. There are basically political factors in Wang Daniao's case." He pinched out the cigarette in his hand slowly, "Obviously, the murderer spent so much effort to deal with a The labor leader doesn’t make sense. Besides, the ditch map is very important to say, but it’s of little use to an individual.”
"The enemy. And this Zhu Tiyin is also weird." Liu Xiang was a little uneasy. Recently, the city government is intensively preparing for the issuance of new coins. The sudden appearance of Zhu Tiyin made him a little uneasy.
"Well, I'm afraid we won't know the reason until we catch the murderer." Lin Baiguang said, "But you don't have to worry too much. This thing will not have a great impact on the new order of the financial market."
The amount of Zhu Tiyin seized was not large, and the answer given by the Grand Library was that there was no possibility of Zhu Tiyin flowing into Guangzhou on a large scale. Even if it flowed into Guangzhou on a large scale, it would not matter - Zhu Tiyin contained nickel, which was suitable for industrial exports. This is very welcome. If any natives are willing to carry out this trade, they should all be purchased.
"It's best this way." Liu Xiang said, frowning and saying, "I think the work of clearing the ditch and dredging the silt can no longer be delayed. We had always hoped to find a map of the ditch, but now it seems that the situation is a bit complicated. Once Wang DaNiao died, Gou Tu’s whereabouts became more confusing. Let’s start taking action now.”
Lin Baiguang nodded and said, "Okay. I'll make arrangements right away. In addition, Lingao has also offered to provide some technical support."
"It's best to have support, but if you don't have it, you have to take action quickly. It rained a few days ago, and the waterlogging in the city was quite serious. I went to the flooded area to see that the gutters were not draining and water was leaking out. The problem is not ordinary. Big. But the manpower is still a bit insufficient.”
Lin Baiguang smiled: "Now that we have a preliminary grassroots organization, we must put it to use. It doesn't matter if we don't have enough manpower. Call Baojia to mobilize. Three out of three, one out, all go to the construction site to dig ditches and clear out silt."
"Mobilizing so many people, food is a big expense, and tools..."
"Cleaning fees can be levied first, based on the area of the house and the permanent population. Additional sewage fees will be levied on heavy-polluting enterprises." Lin Baiguang said, "Guangzhou does not yet have a scavenger team, so we can use this as an opportunity to establish one first."
"Good guy, you are collecting the tax from door to door, how can we get so many tax collectors? If we leave it to the police station to collect the tax, the police will have to break their legs."
"Cleaning fees can be levied as additional taxes." Lin Baiguang said, "This is actually a kind of local tax, and we attach it to the grain retail link. For every kilogram of grain sold, a certain amount of cleaning fees will be levied - ordinary people have to eat. If you want to eat, you have to buy rice, and you pay the tax when you buy the rice. Another advantage of doing this is that the taxation in the circulation link is more hidden. In the 21st century, many people still think that direct taxes are taxes, and they pull the "China "Most people don't pay taxes" is a strange theory, but even fewer people would have understood it in the seventeenth century."
"It's a good idea, but won't the price of grain go up? You know, we originally planned to collect business tax in the grain market."
The documents for the establishment of a grain and non-staple food wholesale market were officially issued a few days ago. Lin Baiguang has been checking whether there are suitable facilities available these days - if not, he will have to find a suitable place to build a new one.
"This tax is very small," Lin Baiguang said. "It's so small that you can ignore it, but the amount of food consumed by the people of Guangzhou every month is a huge amount. If you add it all up, it's huge."
"Well, it's really yours." Liu Xiang said, "By clearing the ditch, we will also clean up illegal buildings and garbage in the city. We have to plan carefully."
Clearing ditches is only the first step, demolishing illegal structures is also easy. But how to deal with the large amount of silt and garbage after the ditch is cleared, and how to resettle the residents after the illegal buildings are demolished, we must take precautions.
It is very difficult to clean up tens of thousands of garbage from a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands at once and expect the surrounding villagers to digest it immediately in the form of fertilizer. There must be a special place for storage. The poor people living in various illegal buildings must have a place to take them in once their houses are demolished and become homeless. Otherwise it will cause serious social problems.
The two discussed for a while and made some calculations about the specific resettlement methods and funding sources. Liu Xiang took a pencil and calculated for a long time, then sighed: "This job is really tedious."
"As the boss, don't get too hung up on the details. Let Xiao Zhang make the specific plan - and give her some opportunities to practice." Lin Baiguang said with a smile, "When she comes to us as an intern, it's best if she has some concrete plans. Give her the work, don’t let her do desk work all the time.”
"That's fine." Liu Xiang nodded and picked up another report on the table. This was the minutes of the first general meeting of the Guangzhou Federation of Industry and Commerce sent by Zheng Shangjie. Liu Xiang knew that this meeting was basically a formality - because the businessmen did not fully understand what kind of political power the Senate was. Based on the traditional concept of "whoever is the emperor listens to whoever is the emperor", industrial and commercial people must be at the mercy of the government on the surface. It is impossible for them to tell the truth.
Although it was an official document, Liu Xiang still read the minutes carefully. The first congress was a system of proportional representation, which generally took into account all aspects. But looking at the speeches, it was the big businessmen and big guilds who talked the most. Small and medium-sized businessmen basically have nothing to say. The content of the speech was also relatively empty. Obviously, no one was willing to be "too positive" before the market was determined.
But that doesn't matter. Liu Xiang knew that the main purpose of this conference was to establish various industry associations below and organize all industrial and commercial households in order to convey the voice and instructions of the Senate to them, and also to facilitate taxation.
Some larger industries, such as yarn, rice grain, sauce and vinegar, printing and dyeing, spices, maritime trade, etc., originally had various guilds. However, such guilds are relatively loosely organized. Because of the different employees or Due to conflicts of interest, it is not uncommon for an industry to have multiple guilds. In addition, it is generally difficult for a large number of small merchants and shops to join the guild, and they are actually outside the guild. (To be continued.)
