"In addition to the two bathtubs, there are also two large pots and two huge steaming trays in the kitchen. What do you think?"
"This...subordinate, this subordinate is careless!"
When Shen Hao said this, Zhang Liao naturally reacted. Zhao Chongwu lives alone and does not need two large wooden barrels, nor does he need two large pots. As for that kind of huge steamer, it shouldn't appear in ordinary people's kitchens.
Shen Hao was not very satisfied with Zhang Liao's performance. Compared to Wang Jian, Zhang Liao's brain was indeed not very flexible and he could handle easy cases. However, he was a bit stretched when it came to cases that required a high level of insight and imagination. .
"Since there are things in Zhao Chongwu's home that should not be seen in a single person's home, it shows that it is necessary for us to monitor him. You can immediately write a letter to Tang Baihu in my name and explain the current situation. I hope He can extend the temporary recruitment time of the seventy Hundred Household Guards in my Black Flag Camp.
In addition, inform the brothers below to be prepared to spend a long time in Fengri City. This case is expected to take quite some time. "
"It's the general flag!"
Zhang Liao hurried down to make arrangements. This person may not be suitable for taking charge of the case, but he is still very capable in handling affairs, and it is said that he is very outstanding in the battle formation. At least this time Shen Hao had a clearer understanding of Zhang Liao's abilities.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Shen Hao returned his attention to the case. This trip to Zhao Chongwu's home was a good harvest. Although the criminal tools were not found and the criminal was directly locked up, he unexpectedly found relevant traces that were most likely "the criminal's accomplices".
Two wooden barrels, two pots, and two giant steaming racks.
These were obviously prepared by Zhao Chongwu for another person. If Zhao Chongwu is the mastermind behind the series of disappearances, then this person who is so closely related to Zhao Chongwu is very likely to be involved in this series of cases.
In order to continue digging deeper, Shen Hao had to change his previous plan of "ending the investigation in five days" and instead prepared to stay on guard for a long time.
As for some of the impacts and troubles caused by the change of plans, Shen Hao does not need to worry about it for the time being. Tang Qingyuan, Jiang Cheng, and Chen Yiyun, the three people who have already boarded the car, will naturally help him deal with it.
According to Feilong's previous tracking records, Zhao Chongwu's life was very regular, and in the past ten days, he was not found to have had contact with any "friends" during his workdays, let alone anyone who came to visit him.
It seems that even in the Population Department, colleagues are not very enthusiastic about Zhao Chongwu, and there is no personal relationship with him. Even the feedback from the follow-up report says that Zhao Chongwu is often deliberately alienated by his colleagues.
Living in a shabby place, having limited money, and living a rigid life schedule, it is already very strange for such a person to be able to make it to the top of the class, and he cannot be expected to win the favor of his colleagues.
However, the day after Shen Hao personally took command of Fengri City, changes occurred. It came earlier than he expected and exceeded everyone's expectations.
At night, a person who shouldn't have appeared in Xicheng Old Street knocked on the door of Zhao Chongwu's house. Then he looked around to make sure no one was following him and then entered the house. Unknown to him, a pair of surprised eyes witnessed all this in the dark. .
The person who came to find Zhao Chongwu was actually Zhan Wenlin! ?
The chief officer of the Population Department of Fengri City is actually the accomplice of Zhao Chongwu whom Shen Hao and others have been calling for? No one had linked Zhan Wenlin and Zhao Chongwu beforehand. It was more speculated that it was someone outside the Population Department, or even an evil monk who provided many conveniences to Zhao Chongwu.
As for why you directly think that Zhan Wenlin is Zhao Chongwu's accomplice? It's very simple. If it's a normal visit, just go directly. Do you need to put on a dirty-looking shorts and mess up your bun to make yourself look like a farmer in the field? No need to disguise like this, right?
I don’t know what the two said when Zhan Wenlin came to Zhao Chongwu’s house, but Zhan Wenlin came out again after just a cup of tea, and several Black Flag Camp spies who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately followed Zhan Wenlin.
Not long after, a spy returned and reported that after leaving West Street, Zhan Wenlin turned into an uninhabited alley, changed clothes there, tied up his hair, and then walked around in a long circle before returning to Tongzi in the south of the city. street home.
Now Shen Hao has two choices.
First, wait a little longer, and at the same time, you can find out more about Zhan Wenlin.
Another option is to put aside all worries and take action directly, control Zhan Wenlin and Zhao Chongwu before they can react, and then hand them over to the torture room to slowly help them revive their minds, and then get a "confession document" ".
Both options have pros and cons. The former can dig into the case as deeply as possible to prevent any omissions. The latter can cut through the mess quickly to avoid new changes.
How to choose?
Shen Hao did not hesitate for long, he chose the former: wait a little longer.
But waiting does not mean waiting. Now a big hole has been opened in the case, and the investigation process has entered the final stage. Zhao Chongwu couldn't run away, and Zhan Wenlin couldn't run away either. But as the chief officer of the Population Department of Fengri City in the sixth grade, if you want to sway Zhan Wenlin, it is not enough to just be suspicious. You must have evidence to avoid being criticized and it is more secure.
For now, Shen Hao feels that everything is still under control, and stability is what needs to be considered most.
That night, Wang Jian, who had traveled to the city, rushed to the temporary command post where Shen Hao was located. On the one hand, the case was urgent, and he rushed over immediately after getting the answers he wanted in Yucheng; on the other hand, Wang Jian did not want to miss the first-line investigation of this major case, which was a rare qualification.
"General Banner, I found Zhao Chongwu's family in a village called Xiaoshuiwan outside Yucheng City. It is the same as the information he registered in the Yamen's archives. He has a wife, two children, and one child. Old mother, these are all superficial, and inside they are all fake."
"Fake? What kind of fake method?"
"The children that Zhao Chongwu claimed to the outside world were actually played by people he hired. The old woman was actually a refugee from Jingbei. She was rescued by Zhao Chongwu eight years ago and was later resettled in Xiaoshuiwan, Yucheng. She was known to the outside world as mother and son. .
Zhao Chongwu's wife is also a refugee. She was originally from Jingnan. The two children were orphans picked up by this woman on the road. The three of them were rescued by Zhao Chongwu five years ago and brought back to Xiaoshuiwan and the old woman. They live together and are known to the public as Zhao Chongwu's wife and children.
The locals in Xiaoshuiwan don't know what Zhao Chongwu does at all. They only know that Zhao Chongwu moved there eight years ago and usually makes money in other places. No one else knows.
Even in Xiaoshuiwan, Zhao Chongwu's home basically has no contact with the surrounding neighbors, and it is a single household. Moreover, the money the family received and sent back from Zhao Chongwu for their clothing expenses was not wasted at all, and they lived very well in the local area. "
