Liang Yinuo looked at them with wide eyes and nodded: "Yes, we all want to go."
"Let's go and take a look. Don't you all have a division of labor?"
"Everyone looks at their own part."
Lao Wan and others had no choice but to follow him and go in together.
Several people were taken into different houses separately. Lao Wangna was taken to the interrogation room. He looked at the room with gray soft bags covering the walls: "This is it?"
Zhou Zhimo pointed to the chair: "Sit down, I have something to ask you."
Lao Wan Zhan walked to the chair and sat down, looking at Zhou Zhimo: "Police, didn't you ask me to do the work?"
Zhou Zhimo said to him: "I have a case and I want to find out some information from you."
"You cooperate well and just say what you know."
Liang Yinuo came in, closed the door and sat next to Zhou Zhimo: "We can start."
Zhou Zhimo asked Lao Wan: "In the summer five years ago, you renovated a yard in the old street. Do you still remember?"
Lao Wang thought for a while: "That's right, I didn't do much work."
"What, the landlord sued us?"
Zhou Zhimo told him: "Don't be nervous first."
"Recall, what kind of work did you do at that time?"
Lao Wan told him: "Repair the stair railings, cabinet surfaces, table surfaces, and the worn parts of the furniture inside the building."
"Later, another wall was built."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Who asked you to go when you were working?"
Lao Wan replied: "It's a man, his surname is Zhang."
Zhou Zhimo asked him again: "When you were working, who else did you see in the yard?"
Lao Wan said: "I just met the landlord once, he was a man."
"He came that day. After a while, the man named Zhang asked us to leave first."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "What were you doing at that time?"
Lao Wan thought for a while: "I was repairing the table surface that day, and the stair handrails were not completely dry yet."
"We were asked to repair it again the next day. They said it stained the boss's clothes and caused him to fall."
"I'm worried that I won't be allowed to do the rest of the work. The boss is a nice person and doesn't blame us."
"He also asked us to build another fence so that we won't be naughty with our neighbors in the future."
"In order to reassure us, the man named Zhang gave us all his wages at that time."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "When you were building the wall, how many days did you work on it? Did you find anything?"
Lao Wan thought for a while: "I can't remember how many days I worked."
"I didn't find anything."
Zhou Zhimo told him: "There was a hole in the wall, and a human skeleton was exposed inside."
"This is why I brought you here. Think about it carefully. Which of you put it in?"
Lao Wan panicked and leaned forward: "No way, we didn't do it."
"We are all honest people and work honestly. We don't know where we came from..."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Then when you built the wall, did the five of you do it together?"
Lao Wan suddenly remembered: "No, there was Lao Zhang who was with us at that time."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Where is Mr. Zhang?"
Lao Wan shook his head: "I don't know."
"Lao Zhang left early before that job was finished."
"It was said that his son had something to do at home, and he was going to help. He took his wages and left."
Zhou Zhimo felt a little strange: "Have you ever seen Lao Zhang here?"
Lao Wan told him: "We all work together as a gang. He left and never came back."
"I called once to ask for a job, but the phone was turned off."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Do you know where the old Zhang family is?"
Lao Wan replied: "In a village by the two rivers."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "What else do you know?"
Lao Wan shook his head hurriedly, with a crying face: "I really don't know."
"You have to believe me."
Next, we interrogate the second person, Lao Qian, who is forty-three years old and does basic work in the team.
When Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Five years ago, were you involved in building the courtyard wall in that old street house?"
Lao Qian nodded: "I am."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Did anything happen at that time?"
Lao Qian thought for a while: "One day the paint was not completely dry and was scratched by the boss's clothes."
"We did it again, without deducting our wages, and they also gave us extra work on the courtyard wall."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Why didn't Lao Zhang, who worked together with me, come today?"
Lao Qian raised his voice: "Old Zhang, by the way, he left before the job was finished."
"He never worked with us again."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Did anything happen to Lao Zhang while working?"
Lao Qian thought for a while and then continued: "One day, we remembered that when we left the day before, we didn't seem to have done that much."
"When I went there the next day, I felt like there were extra walls in the courtyard, but Lao Zhang insisted that there weren't."
"He said he remembered it very clearly and the shovel he placed was still in that position."
"That afternoon, Lao Zhang said there was something going on at home, took the money and left."
When asked again, everyone said the same thing.
Zhou Zhimo told Xiao Qin: "Set them up first and pay attention to the news outside."
Immediately afterwards, he took Liang Yinuo to Lianghe to find Lao Zhang.
According to the descriptions of Lao Wan and others, Lao Zhang lives in a village by the two rivers, and his full name is Zhang Fu. I am 50 years old this year and have a son and two daughters at home.
Based on the clues I had, I went directly to the village headquarters, found the village chief, and explained the situation.
The village chief took them to a house with several brick and tile houses, sitting in the sunny direction and looking very spacious.
The village chief shouted in the yard: "Lao Zhang, are you at home?"
A middle-aged man walked out of the house: "Village Chief."
The village chief said to him: "Sit down on those chairs and talk for a while."
Lao Zhang looked at the police uniforms worn by Zhou Zhimo and Liang Yinuo. He turned around and brought four chairs out: "Come, sit down and talk."
After a few people sat down, the village chief told him: "Police Officer Zhou is from the county. I want to see you if I have anything to do."
"Whatever you know, tell it like it is."
Zhang Fu nodded: "I know."
Zhou Zhimo looked at him: "In the summer five years ago, you and Lao Wan worked together on the old street, painting and building walls."
"do you remember?"
Zhang Fu wrung his hands together: "Remember."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Do you still remember what happened?"
Zhang Fu glanced at him and then looked at the ground: "I don't remember, I don't know."
Zhou Zhimo asked him: "Lao Wan and Lao Qian are staying in our unit. Do you want to talk about it here, or do you want to meet them?"
Zhang Fu lowered his head and said nothing, his fingers turned red from being pinched by himself, and his legs were together.
The village chief said to him anxiously: "Lao Zhang, we all grew up together."
"You've been so boring all your life, when will you change your temper?"
"What do you know? You should tell me quickly."
