The paper recycling station is in a lonely gray-black brick bungalow at the western end of the town. The place looks messy, with waste paper everywhere. A large truck from the county comes once a month to transport waste paper.
Wang Dengming found the person in charge of the paper recycling station, a quiet old man named Kulu who stuttered a bit.
He called Kuru outside.
"Do you know him?"
Wang Dengming showed him Wei Mu's photo.
"Yes, Wilim, our guy here, what's wrong with him?"
Wei Mu's photo was taken by Wang Dengming, and it's a bit revealing.
"Dead, let me know something about you."
"Sheriff, just ask."
"When did he go to work in the recycling bin?"
"It's been several years, probably six years."
"Does he usually associate with anyone?"
"He's a weirdo. I've never seen him hanging out with anyone."
Wang Dengming couldn't help but frown.
"How about lately?"
"He stopped coming to work two months ago."
Wang Dengming couldn't help scratching his forehead. He hadn't come for two months. This was not what he wanted to hear. "In all these years, you haven't seen him interacting with anyone?"
"No, he is a lonely person. I haven't seen him socializing with anyone. Wait a minute, I will find someone to ask you. It is the person who works with him."
A thin man with buck teeth came to Wang Dengming.
"your name?"
"Jason."
"Jason, tell me everything about Wilim. Be more specific. Don't miss anything. How long have you and Wilim been working together?"
"four years ago."
"Do you know him?"
"I don't know much about it, police officer. He rarely talks. He doesn't tell us where he goes. Once he gets off work, he disappears like a ghost. He basically doesn't go out to have fun with us. He stays alone, as if he has autism. disease."
"Autism?"
"Yeah, don't say anything, and don't say anything about their family."
"He hasn't contacted anyone except at work?"
Jason said: "Officer, one, only one time, a woman came to him, named Natalie, who was the bartender at the Baldy Bar in the town. It seemed that she was his lover."
"How do you know Natalie is his lover?"
"Officer, Wilim is like a ghost-like co-worker. We were very curious. When Natalie came to see him that night, we followed him."
"Okay, thank you very much for the clues you provided, thank you!"
"You're welcome, officer."
Wang Dengming rushed to Baldy Bar.
Why is Baldy Bar called Baldy Bar? That’s because the owner of this bar is bald, and others call him Bald Bird. After a long time, Wang Dengming didn’t even know the real name of this guy who liked to smoke cigars.
As soon as Wang Dengming entered the bar, he asked Bald Bird: "Natalie, where are you?"
Bald Bird also knew Wang Dengming, so he said, "Chief Wang, are you looking for her? I'm looking for her."
"What's wrong?"
"Chief, I was planning to call the police. Just the day before yesterday, Natalie said she had to do some errands and asked me for leave. She promised that she would come back to work at noon yesterday. I agreed. Look, it's already today and no one is there. ”
"She's gone. Did you call her?"
"Phone off."
When Wang Dengming heard Bald Bird say that he was also looking for him, he secretly thought something was wrong. When Bald Bird said that, his cell phone was turned off. Needless to say, this line was probably troublesome.
"Have you sent someone to look for her? Where will she go?"
"She is not a local, and she doesn't go to many places. I called and asked, but she didn't see anyone. Damn it, I have to deduct her salary."
When Bald Bird said this, he remembered to ask: "Sheriff, what do you want to do with her?"
"Do you know this person?"
Wang Dengming handed over Wei Mu's photo.
"I know him. His name is Wilim. He is hooking up with Natalie. I have already warned Natalie that he is a gloomy, worthless little bastard. What's wrong with him, this photo?"
"he died."
"Dead? Sheriff, what happened?"
"Do you know Wilim?"
"No, I got angry when I saw this bastard and wanted to drive him out."
Wang Dengming put the photo in his pocket and said, "As long as Natalie comes back, or if you have anything to do with her, please call me."
He handed over his business card.
"No problem, Chief Wang. I'll have someone search for him again. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
"Thank you, this is a bit sensitive."
"I know what to do, and I won't talk nonsense."
"Okay, call me."
Before he left, he took a photo of Natalie's ID card. Bald Bird's computer contained the information of his employees, including Natalie.
About an hour after Wang Dengming returned to the police station, Jones Medi and Butcher Gordon Bu also came back.
"Did you gain anything?"
Tu Gordon preached: "Except for the surveillance camera at the entrance of the old Miggs Hotel, there are no surveillance cameras nearby. Only God is overlooking everything."
Wang Dengming smiled bitterly. Tu Gebu's words can be summarized in four words, and he gained nothing.
"Boss, where are you?"
"There is still a little hope left, a glimmer of hope."
Wang Dengming explained his investigation just now, and Gordon Tu said: "Natalie, you look so good."
To be honest, Natalie is still above average in looks. I wonder why she got mixed up with Wilim.
"Don't tell me what she looks like. We have to catch her. This is our last clue."
"Only my people can do this kind of thing, boss. I'll let others do it."
"Not urgent."
"What's wrong?"
Wang Dengming smiled and said: "Ye Xiong, your men have done a lot of things for me and the police station, all for free. Do your men have no objection?"
Tu Gebu chuckled and said, "My words are orders."
“That can’t always be free.”
"Boss, what do you mean?"
Jones Medi smiled and said: "What your boss means is that he is embarrassed to use your people for free anymore."
"So, the police department is willing to pay?"
Wang Dengming nodded and said: "To handle cases, funds need to be allocated from the higher authorities. In the past, such murder cases were investigated by the criminal investigation team of Barak County Police Department. We investigate ourselves. Of course we have to apply for funds. If we don't have the money, we can't." Funding, that doesn’t comply with the procedures. I’ve already written the funding application. I’ll know how much it will be approved and whether I’m willing to approve it or not.”
"That's right, my people are actually free."
"Wild Bear, I know what you are thinking. You asked me to have a black boxing fight and I will get all my money back. But now is not the time. We should act according to the rules. You are working for the United States and you must be paid legally. .”
"Well, I'll be happy to take clean dollar bills."
