After Qian Chen left Wang Baocai's house, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. After he took out the portrait, Wang Baocai's eyes were always erratic and dodgeful, and he probably had something wrong with him.
Is it possible that Wang Baocai knows the person in the portrait? Or maybe Wang Baocai guessed something from the portrait?
When Master Shen Jun introduced Wang Baocai to Qian Chen, he also mentioned that Wang Baocai could be used, but he had to be careful as he might betray himself.
You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Qian Chen has to prepare for the worst. Maybe the "murderer" already knows that his portrait is in his possession, and then the murderer is very likely to do something to him. He takes action.
After thinking about this, Qian Chen quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Zhang Lin and Hua Xiangrong, asking them to stay in the unit for the next two days and try not to go out.
After sending the money, Qian Chen realized that he was too impatient. He wanted to use all his resources to find the real culprit and solve the case, so he approached Wang Baocai, and the consequences of doing so were likely to be To alert the snake, the "murderer" would be on guard, and even bring danger to the few insiders. After all, the "murderer" had already killed one Liu Daqing, and was not afraid of killing another one.
Qian Chen meditated all the way back to the dormitory. Even while lying on the bed, Qian Chen's mind was still thinking about how to deal with various situations and the breakthrough of the entire incident.
Early the next morning, before Qian Chen woke up, he was woken up by the ringing of the phone. Qian Chen glanced at it: Hua Bing.
As soon as the call was connected, Hua Bing's anxious voice came from the other side: "What are you doing? You haven't gotten up yet? The ingredients in almond milk are made, and there's damn hydrogen cyanide on it. There are only four fingerprints that can be collected, one of which belongs to Liu Daqing, and the other three are likely to belong to the poisoner. I have asked someone to take them to the database for comparison."
Hua Bing's voice was a bit tired and excited. He had obviously worked overtime last night, but his results were gratifying.
Qian Chen also sat up from the bed at this time and scratched his hair to make himself more awake: "You can first compare the fingerprints of the staff at the small shop in Liu Daqing's village, just in case this almond milk is for the convenience of poisoners." If you buy it nearby, you may be able to exclude one or even two fingerprints.”
Although Qian Chen didn't know the specific process of fingerprint data comparison, he knew that this thing was a huge project. If he could eliminate an incorrect fingerprint, he would definitely save a lot of energy, so even if there was only a glimmer of hope, it was worth a try.
Hua Bing felt that what Qian Chen said was reasonable, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will take someone over immediately to investigate and compare."
"Why don't you take a break?"
"You'll have to squint on the road."
"Okay, I just have something to tell you."
After hanging up the phone, Qian Chen saw the messages returned by Zhang Lin and Hua Xiangrong. Qian Chen called and briefly explained. The two women said they would be obedient, and Qian Chen was instantly relieved.
After washing up, Qian Chen carried a small bag out of the town government. There were 30 cameras in it, which was not a few. However, the construction of the funeral home was a major event for the county, and it was also related to Qian Chen's future and destiny. Such a situation Forget it, it really doesn’t matter.
It was difficult to install so many cameras. The one-time installation target was too obvious. Installing them in batches would not attract attention. So Qian Chen first turned a corner and went to the Guanzhuang Village Funeral Home construction site to choose several hidden locations. , 6 cameras were installed, so 30 cameras can be installed in five or six times.
After the installation was completed, Qian Chen came to Liu Erqing's house. Liu Erqing's house was already overcrowded at this time. There are still advantages to living in the countryside. It is full of human touch. It doesn't matter what big or small thing someone has, you just need to shout and keep it. There will be a large group of people coming to help you.
"Mayor Qian is here, sit inside."
Qian Chen responded, then offered incense to Liu Daqing and paid his respects.
"Uncle Liu, please bring your two sons here. There are some things that need to be explained to you."
Liu Erqing straightened up in an emotional moment: "Did my brother's matter come to an end?"
Qian Chen did not hide the truth about Liu Daqing's death due to poisoning, but told Liu's family truthfully. However, because Cao Shuang had connections with him, the Public Security Bureau never had a definite answer, and even in the end they even opened a murder case. I don’t know if it’s gone or not.
Liu Erqing's family was very dissatisfied with this, so they thought of taking Liu Daqing's body to the county or city to file a complaint, but Qian Chen stopped him. Qian Chen had been running around doing portraits in the past two days, which made Liu Erqing's family feel emotional. Things got better, but after all was said and done, no matter how hard Qian Chen worked, he had to give an explanation to the Liu family in the end.
After several people entered the house, Qian Chen said: "Uncle Liu, yesterday the police went to your brother's house and collected evidence and found almond milk discarded behind the house. After testing, it did contain highly toxic hydrogen cyanide."
When Liu Erqing heard this, he became excited instantly. He wished he could pick up the knife and fight for his enemies right now.
"What!? My brother was really poisoned to death? Oh, my poor brother, who has been kind and kind all his life, why did he end up being harmed? Mayor Qian, tell me what happened Whoever harmed my brother, I’m going to kill that bastard right now.”
"Uncle Liu, my condolences. The murderer will naturally have the law to try him. I don't think Uncle Liu would want to see you fighting with others if he were alive. What's more, we only have the fingerprints and portrait of the murderer, and we still can't determine who it is. Poisoned."
"My brother has been a bachelor all his life, but I am the only relative. If I don't avenge my brother, who will?
Mayor Qian, are you afraid that you told me that I'm going to find someone to fight for my life, which will affect you? If so, don't worry, I will never tell others that you said it, and I won't be involved even if I go in. Your. "
The two sons also spoke up and said, "Yes, Mayor Qian, just rest assured that what we do has nothing to do with you."
Qian Chen looked bitter: "Uncle Liu, it's not that I didn't tell you, it's that the police and I really haven't found out who the murderer is."
Liu Erqing was doubtful: "You really don't know?"
"I really don't know, but don't worry, I promise to inform you as soon as there is any news."
"Okay, we believe you, but you must also know that our old Liu family is a people who accept death. If there is no explanation for this matter in the end, then we will get my brother back no matter what, even if we go to the capital. A justice.”
Qian Chen nodded: "Uncle Liu, I will never do anything about this matter. I will go to the capital with you then!"
Seeing Qian Chen's assurance, Liu Erqing's expression changed from angry and resentful to haggard and sad again.
Qian Chen reminded Liu Erqing's two sons: "Take more care of the old man these two days. The old man is getting older. Don't get sick again."
Soon, Hua Bing hurried over with a technician who was doing fingerprint collection.
Qian Chen told the second son of the Liu family to take someone to a nearby canteen to collect fingerprints, and he revealed his plan in front of Huabing and the Liu family's father and son.
"Uncle Liu, this is Comrade Huabing from our Shanchuan County Public Security Bureau, and he is also my classmate. It was he who discovered the almond dew bottle containing hydrogen cyanide."
Qian Chen gave a brief introduction first. When Liu Erqing heard this, he knelt down to Hua Bing on the spot.
"Thank you... thank you so much... I don't know how to thank you... I kneel down for you."
Seeing this, Hua Bing quickly supported Liu Erqing's kneeling body: "No, uncle, this is what I should do."
"I don't know what I should or shouldn't do, but I know that you helped me, so I want to thank you. I hope you will continue to investigate my brother's affairs carefully later." As he said this, Liu Erqing knelt down again.
"Uncle Liu, you must not do this. Don't worry, Mayor Qian and I will do our best to find the real culprit and give your brother an explanation."
"You and Mayor Qian are good officials, good officials."
Hua Bing managed to persuade Liu Erqing to stop him. Qian Chen felt a little bitter when he saw this scene. People are so simple. Most of them will not expect anything from you. As a public servant, even you There is no need to think about the people, you just need to complete your work step by step, and they will be very grateful.
"Uncle Liu, there is a situation that I need to explain to you." Qian Chen paused and continued: "Because the police force in our county is relatively limited, and the fingerprint database and face recognition have just been established. If you want to It may take a lot of time to technically solve the case."
Hearing this, Liu Erqing's face became more depressed. His brother's death was unclear. He was about to be buried but could not give an explanation to his brother. He didn't know how he would face his brother.
"Mayor Qian, you don't have to tell me what is or isn't. I don't understand that. Just give me an accurate estimate of how long it will take to solve this case."
Of course Qian Chen knew that Liu Erqing couldn't understand the fingerprint data and face recognition he was talking about, but what he wanted was that Liu Erqing couldn't understand. He just wanted to let Liu Erqing know that there was a lot of difficulty in it. Only when the difficulty went up, what happened behind him Only unconventional methods can be used, otherwise he will appear to be alien.
"Uncle Liu, I am not telling you this to cause trouble for you, but I want to tell you that based on the situation in our county alone, it is almost impossible to successfully detect this case, so we should seek help from our superiors and go to the city. , or even find the province.”
Everyone looked at a loss when they heard this. Before Liu Erqing could speak, Hua Bing took the lead and asked, "Seek help from your superiors?"
