#1826 - Look, this is called professionalism!

Trading bazaar.

Administrative building.

Ju Tianrui pointed at the people behind him and said to Li Zhengping:

"These people were all engaged in criminal investigation work before the end of the world. They are Zheng Xiaoliu, Shu Kaifeng, Chu Guangde, and Liu Aihua."

He pointed to a tall man wearing black-framed glasses and introduced him, "This man is Qin Bai, and he used to be a forensic doctor."

Li Zhengping thanked: "Thank you, Director Ju."

Ju Tianrui waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Find out the truth as soon as possible. People in the trading market are in a panic now. Everyone is worried about being poisoned. Find out the truth as soon as possible. I still have to coordinate manpower and prepare to go out of the city to mine snow tomorrow. I'll leave this to you."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Li Zhengping nodded.

After Ju Tianrui finished speaking, he left the room.

Li Zhengping turned his head and looked at the people in front of him, and asked, "Investigating cases is your specialty, and professional people should do professional things. Who held the highest position among you before the end of the world?"

Shu Kaifeng and others looked at Zheng Xiaoliu. They had already known each other before coming here. Before the end of the world, Zheng Xiaoliu was the captain of the city's criminal investigation team and had the highest qualifications.

Seeing that everyone was looking at Zheng Xiaoliu, Li Zhengping took a look at the middle-aged man in front of him.

The weathered beard and deep, story-filled eyes are sharp.

"It seems that you have the most experience. You will be in charge of this investigation. I will give you 24 hours to find out the truth. OK?"

When Zheng Xiaoliu heard this familiar command, he subconsciously replied, "No problem, but I need you to cooperate with me in the investigation."

"What can I do?" Li Zhengping asked.

Zheng Xiaoliu said methodically:

"I need to retrieve all the surveillance videos from the trading market to the residential area of ​​Zone C. I also need the right to interrogate Jiang Zhongfeng alone. In addition, I need someone to dissect the body of Room 308. Finally, I want to ask if anyone has entered Room 308?"

Li Zhengping nodded and said:

"Of course, no problem. I can satisfy you with all that you want, and even with anything else you ask me to do. As for the scene you mentioned, two patrolmen went in, but they didn't touch the body. They just took the bucket of water on the ground."

"Hey, did they wear shoe covers when they went in?" Zheng Xiaoliu asked.

"No." Li Zhengping replied awkwardly.

After all, they are just patrol officers, not professional police officers, and are not as professional as them.

Besides, where are the shoe covers?

"It's okay, it's not a big problem." Zheng Xiaoliu turned his head and looked at the people behind him.

"Qin Bai, go and dissect the body now to determine the cause of death of the person in Room 308, and compare the water in the bucket to see what kind of poison it is."

Qin Bai looked at Li Zhengping, then at Zheng Xiaoliu, "Okay, but I need a room for the autopsy."

Li Zhengping looked at Shen Yifan, the leader of the third patrol team, and said, "Go find him a room. Give him whatever he wants and help him with his work."

"Okay, Captain."

Shen Yifan walked to Qin Bai's side and said, "Come on, follow me, I'll take you there."

Zheng Xiaoliu turned around and said to Shu Kaifeng and Chu Guangde, "Go check the surveillance footage and see if you can find any footage of the bucket being poisoned on the road."

"Take them to the monitoring room." Li Zhengping said to the patrol team members behind him.

After making some arrangements, Zheng Xiaoliu looked at Li Zhengping and said:

"Captain Li, I'm going to interrogate Jiang Zhongfeng now. Would you like to come with us?"

"Okay, I'll take you there myself." Li Zhengping nodded.

It was his first time investigating a case, and he felt it was quite novel, a bit like watching a crime movie.

Exciting and fun.

The prison holds enemies who used to be enemies of the Dazhangshu forces, including Xu Zhi and others from the Northwest forces.

There were also people who violated the regulations in the trading market. Most of them were killed, and a few had points deducted as punishment.

If they were imprisoned and provided with three free meals a day and heating, these two points would be enough to attract people in the trading market to rush in.

Although their personal freedom was restricted, they were given food.

To them, this is not like being in prison, it is simply a paradise.

Therefore, up to now, no residents of the trading market have been detained for a long time. At most, they are detained for a short period of time and have to solve their own food problems.

The first floor of the prison.

In Room 3, Zheng Xiaoliu saw Jiang Zhongfeng from Room 309. Jiang Zhongfeng was sitting on a chair with his hands handcuffed and his head lowered.

Hearing the door open, he immediately raised his head and said anxiously:

"I was wronged, it's none of my business!"

The light in the room was dim. Zheng Xiaoliu slowly walked up to him and said in a gentle voice:

"The truth has not been revealed yet. I just want you to cooperate and relax. Tell me how you found out that everyone in Room 308 was dead. Tell me in detail."

Perhaps it was because Zheng Xiaoliu's voice had an inexplicable sense of familiarity that Jiang Zhongfeng sat down.

There are memories in his eyes.

"The day before yesterday, I put on thick clothes and went out with a bucket of water as usual. We have to fetch water every day. The room was heated and very hot."

"Before the snow was not cleared, we could just get a bucket of snow downstairs, but later the snow was cleared, so we could only spend points to get water from a water station not far away."

"That morning, I carried a bucket to the door of Room 308 and knocked three times. There was no movement from inside, so I called Liu Yuning, but there was no response. I pushed the door, but it didn't open. I felt something was wrong, so I went back to Room 309 and called Song Tai and the others."

"When we pushed open the door, we found that all the people in Room 308 had fallen to the ground, all dead. Then I rang the alarm bell, and you all know what happened next."

"Um."

Zheng Xiaoliu said to Chu Guangde behind him: "Pour him a glass of water."

Chu Guangde was a member of the Civil Armed Forces Department who was temporarily transferred here. He was not very familiar with the prison, so Li Zhengping asked someone to go over and help pour him a glass of water.

After taking a sip of water from the cup, Jiang Zhongfeng was visibly more relaxed.

Zheng Xiaoliu didn't ask in a hurry. He waited until he finished drinking the water before continuing to ask:

"Do you know the other people in 308?"

"I know him but I'm not very familiar with him. I'm more familiar with Liu Yuning."

"Oh, has Liu Yuning or anyone else in 308 had any conflicts or contradictions with others recently?"

"conflict?"

Jiang Zhongfeng frowned and thought for a moment before saying:

"Three days ago, when Liu Yuning and I went to buy tortillas, someone cut in line and Liu Yuning refused to let him. We almost got into a fight. Later, the man saw the patrol coming and stopped arguing with us."

"Do you remember that person's name?" Zheng Xiaoliu asked.

"have no idea."

Although such a small matter would not lead to killing according to common sense, some people are unable to think with common sense.

A narrow-minded person may kill someone just because of a few verbal insults.

He had seen many people like this before the end of the world.

After the end of the world, without legal and moral constraints, there will be even more people like this.

When Li Zhengping heard this, he walked over and said to Zheng Xiaoliu:

"There's a camera over at Commercial District 2. I can pull it up and check it out."

"good."

Zheng Xiaoliu looked at Jiang Zhongfeng and continued to ask:

"About what time?"

"It was probably between 8:30 and 9 in the morning three days ago. That's the only time I can go back to. I don't know the exact time because I don't have a watch."

"Anything else? Do the other people in No. 308 have any conflicts with others?" Zheng Xiaoliu asked.

"No, I'm not familiar with the others, so I'm not sure. There was a heavy snowstorm a few days ago, so no one went out."

"Um."

Zheng Xiaoliu then asked a few more questions, and Jiang Zhongfeng answered truthfully.

"Yes, thank you for telling me this. We will let you go after we find out the truth."

After Zheng Xiaoliu finished speaking, he turned and left the room.

They summoned the other people in Room 309 and learned from them that what Jiang Zhongfeng said was true. They asked them some questions but did not get much information.

Zheng Xiaoliu asked Li Zhengping to help retrieve the quarrel that Jiang Zhongfeng mentioned on that day. He found the footage of that day through video recording and identified the man who quarreled with Liu Yuning in the background through video comparison.

"We need to send a message to him as well, right?" Li Zhengping asked Zheng Xiaoliu.

Zheng Xiaoliu held the information of Room 308 and the information of the man who had quarreled with Liu Yuning in his hands, and checked them over and over again.

"You can call him and ask, but I have a feeling it's not this person." Zheng Xiaoliu stared at the information in the file, a gleam in his eyes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"No? Then it can't be Jiang Zhongfeng, right?" Li Zhengping asked doubtfully.

"The autopsy report of Qin Bai just came out, and the poison in the bucket of water has also been figured out."

"What kind of poison is it?" Li Zhengping asked.

Zheng Xiaoliu handed over a report sheet.

Whispered:

"The autopsy report proves that the cause of death for 308 people was drinking that bucket of water. The water was indeed poisoned, and the poison was a combination of Chinese herbal medicine.

According to Qin Bai, this poison is a mixture of licorice and gansui, and it is extremely toxic! When these two herbs are boiled in a 1:1 ratio, the dissolution rate of the steroidal terpenoids in gansui increases, resulting in increased toxicity! "

"Wow!??" Li Zhengping was stunned that it could be done this way.

Is it so advanced?

Zheng Xiaoliu continued:

"Secondly, I just looked through the personnel information of Room 308 and saw that the eight people in this room were from the same group. But in fact, there were nine people in their group before, and one of them seemed to have been kicked out of the team. This person's name is Wang Zhe."

"Looking at his profile, it shows that he once worked in the cultivation and identification of traditional Chinese medicine before the end of the world. He must have understood the properties and pharmacology of medicine. Most people don't know that mixing licorice and kansui can become highly toxic."

"He has the motive and the ability to poison. Now we just need to find evidence that he poisoned, and the case will be settled."

Li Zhengping took the report in his hand and read it over and over again. He could no longer conceal the shock in his eyes.

What a talented person.

He is extremely meticulous and is exactly what their patrol team urgently needs.

The trading market has strict regulations. Under these regulations, few people dare to cause trouble in the market.

but!

There are more than 200,000 people in the trading market, and with so many people, it is inevitable that there will be quarrels and thefts. Sometimes they can't find evidence and can only let it go.

The management of trading markets is still in its early stages.

Severe criminal laws force residents to not commit crimes.

But if there is a professional case-handling team, it will be a great help to the patrol team and can also make the trading market more stable.

Thinking and thinking.

He looked at Zheng Xiaoliu as if he were looking at a treasure.

Zheng Xiaoliu was frightened by Li Zhengping's burning gaze and felt a little uneasy. He took two steps back and said:

"Captain Li, what do you think?"

"Which brigade are you in at the Civilian Armed Forces Department? What position do you hold?"

"He is under the command of Captain Chen Er of the Eleventh Militia Division, and is the leader of the first team of the second squad of the third battalion."

"Team leader," Li Zhengping raised the corner of his mouth.

"How about working with me? I'll give you a position as a team leader, and your salary will be upgraded by one level! Besides, our patrol team is directly under the Security Department. The patrol team has fewer people, so there is a lot of potential for promotion. It's also safer because we don't have to go out on missions. Come on!"

"Ah?" Zheng Xiaoliu didn't expect Li Zhengping to be so direct.

Hesitantly said: "But, I haven't gotten my boss's approval yet. My boss, the team leader..."

"And Captain Chen Er's level might not be easy either."

"Hahaha, Old Chen and I are very familiar with each other. If I ask him for someone, he won't dare to refuse!" Li Zhengping waved his hand and said in a somewhat wanton manner.

"But."

Zheng Xiaoliu was still a little worried. After all, Chen Er and Li Zhengping were at the same level, both holding the position of team leader. Li Zhengping's words "he dared not not give it" sounded like bragging. He was about to speak but was interrupted by someone next to him.

Ding Ming, the leader of the first patrol team, saw his doubts, so he came over and whispered in his ear:

"Do you know what the minister's last name is in Oil City?"

Zheng Xiaoliu looked at him with some confusion, "Li, everyone knows this."

"Do you know the city lord's last name?"

"It's Li too. It seems that the city lord and the minister are uncle and nephew. I heard that too." Zheng Xiaoliu replied.

"Then what's the last name of the captain of the patrol team of the trading market next to you?" Ding Ming asked in a faint tone, with a look in his eyes that said, you know what I mean.

"Hiss, what do you mean?" Zheng Xiaoliu took a breath, a little surprised.

Ding Ming nodded and said, "Our Captain Li is relatively low-key. Few people know his identity. He is a cousin of our city lord and a nephew of Minister Li. If you follow Captain Li, you will have a bright future. Do you still need to think about it?"

Ding Ming looked at Zheng Xiaoliu deeply. He also followed the case throughout this time and saw the abilities of Zheng Xiaoliu and his colleagues.

This is exactly the talent that their patrol team is urgently in need of!

Zheng Xiaoliu took a breath and looked at Li Zhengping beside him. Li Zhengping was also looking at him.

Damn it!

Such a big name!

Zheng Xiaoliu swallowed his saliva, quickly bent down and said:

"If you don't give up, ahem. I was wrong, Captain Li, I'm willing to join the patrol team!"

Li Zhengping looked pleased, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, I will set up a separate criminal investigation team to specialize in various conflict cases in the trading market. This can be regarded as making use of your expertise. Follow me, and you won't regret it."

"Yeah." Zheng Xiaoliu nodded vigorously. He finally understood why Li Zhengping, who was only in his early twenties, had held such an important position.

It turns out that they are related! And it is so hard!

Whether before or after the end of the world, relationships are always very important.

If you have connections and ability, you should definitely go.

Even if you have connections but no ability, as long as you don't hold others back, you can still get by.

It doesn’t matter if you have the ability, you may not get promoted. It all depends on your luck.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the ability, just forget about it.

"We found evidence of poisoning, we found it!"

At this moment, Shen Yifan, Shu Kaifeng and Chu Guangde came running over with a USB flash drive.

Shen Yifan ran to Li Zhengping breathlessly, raised the USB flash drive in his hand and said:

"Captain, we found a suspicious man in the surveillance video. At the corner of the third auxiliary road from Area B to Area C, we saw a man talking to Liu Yuning and Jiang Zhongfeng, and secretly putting liquid into the bucket. The liquid is suspected to be poison."
