"Last time, I said that I would transfer two people from the criminal police team to help, but he resisted and finally let go. For that reason, when we celebrated the closing of the case last time, we invited everyone from the criminal police team to have dinner together... This

It's a good thing, but before I even opened my mouth, he actually asked for a replacement?"

Li Guangyi reached for the folder on the table and looked at the document sent from the Eryuan Road Police Station: "I think since everyone is here, let's use it first! The secondment period is only two weeks. If there is a breakthrough in the case,

Sexual progress is of course the best, and if nothing can be found, we have nothing to lose."

Lei Yue nodded slowly: "Let He Ping take him and keep an eye on Li Lihong first."

He walked to the door, looked up at the clear sky in the distance, and said to himself: "Everyone is praising this young man, hoping that he can bring me some unexpected surprises."

…

Two days later, the bus terminal in the eastern part of the provincial capital.

Hu Pingtao wore a striped short vest on the upper body and a pair of men's pencil pants on the lower body. He didn't wear socks and put on a pair of open leather shoes. His ankles were bare. He was in a strong Korean style.

He Ping is thirty-four years old this year, and her son is in elementary school. She has fair skin and is on the fat side. She wears a silk shirt with a loose mesh sweater, and a bohemian-style long skirt underneath, which looks simple and fashionable.

Both people's seats in the car were in the fourth row, parallel to Li Lihong's seat. In order to avoid attracting attention, there was one passenger between Hu Pingtao and the target, and two passengers between Li Lihong.

At half past nine, the bus left the passenger terminal on time.

Hu Pingtao was wearing a pair of sunglasses and leaning back on his seat, seemingly asleep.

His head was tilted to the right, and his sunglasses blocked his eyes that were always watching Li Lihong. No one could see the focus of his sight unless they got very close.

There was a lot of information on the Li Rongkai case, and Hu Pingtao obtained the corresponding access rights. He Ping made settings on the computer so that he could read it himself.

Physical evidence, photos, transcripts... Because it is an old case, all textual materials are stored in the provincial and departmental archives, and only copied text and pictures are on the computer.

There is nothing wrong with it from the data.

Today is Saturday, which happens to be the day when Li Lihong returns to her hometown.

Information shows that Li Lihong's adoptive parents were from Nanquan Village, Linhe County. Six years after her marriage, her husband died unexpectedly. The cause of death was falling from a mountain cliff. Six months later, her adoptive parents died of poisoning from drinking fake wine.

In less than a year, three people died. The local police took it very seriously, but after investigation, they found that these things had nothing to do with Li Lihong. She had an alibi, and her adoptive parents purchased the fake wine from mobile vendors.

Li Lihong also did not have enough motive to kill.

It's not a good thing if too many people die in the family. In the eyes of the villagers, Li Lihong is a disaster star, so they talk about it a lot. The family only has a few acres of thin farmland, and the output is limited, so Li Lihong has to go there alone with her children.

I work in the provincial capital and stay away from this land of right and wrong.

Hu Pingtao, who was leaning on the seat, was breathing steadily. The frame of his sunglasses added a thick vertical line to his squinting eyes, and the entire perspective was divided into two large parts, black and white.

Li Lihong and He Ping are the same age, four months apart. Her skin is darker, especially on her cheeks and forehead, with rough and cracked scaly skin. Her finger joints are thick and the back of her hand has dense lines, which are obvious signs of long-term labor.

feature.

Although the city is nice, it is not the paradise she imagined. Li Lihong's adoptive parents had a son before, and they had a strong old concept of "men are superior to women." Li Lihong went to elementary school, and later her adoptive parents' son was hit and killed by a large truck.

, she completely lost the right to go to school. The furious adoptive parents stuffed her schoolbag and all the textbooks into the stove and burned them, and the village cadres came to do work to no avail. Li Lihong could not enjoy the nine-year compulsory education stipulated by the state.

Her husband-in-law asked her to take on most of the chores at home every day: cutting pig grass, working in the fields, washing and cooking, and picking up manure... She lived a very hard life during her childhood.

These conditions were entered into the database during previous surveys.

She was wearing an orange pullover, which looked tacky in both color and style. The corners of her black trousers had been worn out, and it looked like they had been worn for a long time. The mid-heeled leather shoes on her feet were at least ten years old.

, there are many wrinkles on the upper surface and are covered with dust and mud.

She returns to her hometown every year to worship her ancestors during the Qingming Festival and Winter Solstice. Over the years, she returns home more frequently, at least once a month.

This phenomenon attracted Lei Yue's attention, so he sent someone to follow Li Lihong secretly for more than half a year, and found that the reason why she frequently went home was just to "get vegetables." Li Lihong had land in Nanquan Village, but because of the poor soil, the crops were mainly in the form of

The main products are potatoes and peppers, which cannot be sold for much money. Many young people in the village have given up farming and chosen to work in big cities.

Those left behind in the village are all old people.

The fields were left idle for too long and were useless. Li Lihong gave her land to the villagers for farming, and they promised that she could come back every month to harvest some vegetables. Carrots, pumpkins, kohlrabi, cabbage, potatoes, eggplants...these are in season.

Vegetables are very cheap, and it doesn’t cost much to grow and eat them yourself. Every time Li Lihong comes back, she takes away a large bag of vegetables, especially radishes in winter, which can be made into pickles and can be eaten for a long time.

This is a very frugal and homely woman.

It’s impossible not to be frugal! Li Lihong has no house in the city and can only rent in a village in the city. Because of her low education level, her job has been unstable and her income is meager. Her monthly income is about 2,000 yuan, and sometimes even only 1,200 yuan.

, 3. Her daughter is in the fourth grade of elementary school this year, which is the time to spend money.

Linhe County is very close to the provincial capital, less than an hour's drive (speed is 60 kilometers per hour). Two years ago, the county system was abolished and merged into a district of the provincial capital. The ticket is not expensive, only 12 yuan for a one-way trip.

.

Li Lihong might be tired, so she started to sleep after getting in the car, snoring loudly. The man sitting next to her on the right looked unhappy, and while the road was bumpy, he used his elbow to push her a few times, but it was of no use.

This caused Li Lihong to snore louder on purpose.

Soon we arrived at Nanquan Village, and most of the passengers on and off the bus were empty. In recent years, as the economy has been invigorated, some young people who returned from the city have become more creative and started a farmhouse. Behind Nanquan Village are mountains with dense vegetation, and there are several

Qinggou has a beautiful scenery, which is full of attractions for city dwellers. Every weekend, it becomes a hotline for short-distance self-driving tours. It just passes by the village market. The local products and fresh vegetables here are cheap, and tourists stop to buy them. Gradually

Form a unique consumption circle.

Fashionably dressed city dwellers like Hu Pingtao and He Ping got off the bus in Nanquan Village to visit the village market, breathe the fresh outdoor air, and then walk in the mountains to spend a pleasant weekend.

Li Lihong might be a little hungry. After getting off the car, she walked directly to the food stall in the village market and ordered a bowl of small pot rice noodles.

This is a specialty snack in Yunnan Province. The small iron pot used to cook rice noodles is very distinctive: it looks like a large bowl, and the wooden handle is inserted vertically into the iron groove on the side of the pot and fixed with iron nails. The rice noodles are divided into thick and thin types.

Take the big bone soup that has been cooked in advance, add lard, fresh minced meat, sour pickles, sauce, soy sauce, boil over high heat until it boils, and add fresh green leeks or pea tips, and bright red chili peppers.

The oily, delicious, hot and smooth texture makes you unforgettable after you taste it.

Mobile phones have brought the world closer. Many tourists who come to Nanquan Village like to eat the rice noodles here. There are many related comments, which has attracted more people to come here to taste and check in. In fact, there are many snack bars in the city where the rice noodles taste better than here.

It's better, but the reason for going out is to taste the local flavor. As the saying goes, "the fragrance is spread across the pot", this is the truth.

Hu Pingtao and He Ping walked into the food stall one after another, each ordered a bowl of rice noodles, and sat near Li Lihong respectively. During the surveillance process, of course, they took out their mobile phones, took pictures of the rice noodles, themselves, and the people around them.

Take photos of all the rural elements found on the food stalls that you can’t find in the city.

Hu Pingtao took a few bites of a bowl of rice noodles and then put down his chopsticks. Before leaving, he pretended to be coquettish, deliberately pinched his throat, and made a horrible effeminate voice that made people's skin crawl all over.

"I've been fooled! I've been fooled! There are so many people recommending such a terrible thing on the Internet. There's so much oil and it's so greasy. I'm losing weight. I'll have to eat cereal and yogurt when I get back. And there are so many chili peppers.

I have acne all over my face.”

He pouted, looked unhappy, snorted, twisted his hips, and left the food stall.

There was a lot of discussion behind him.

"Is that person a man or a woman?"

"He looks good, he's quite handsome, he's my type."

"Sissy, rotten asshole."

"Could it be a woman disguised as a man?"

There was a Haval parked on the roadside at the corner of the village. Hu Pingtao saw no one in either direction, opened the door, and got in.

This is the car sent by the anti-narcotics team to assist them.

Li Ling, who was wearing casual clothes, was sitting in the driver's seat. Through the rear mirror, he looked at Hu Pingtao, who was changing clothes and putting on makeup very quickly, and said with a smile: "Xiaohu, have you noticed anything?"

From the year Li Rongkai was arrested, the Anti-Narcotics Brigade put Li Lihong on the key surveillance list. From the city to Nanquan Village, Li Ling has traveled back and forth countless times over the years. Each time, two people were following the target.

Get on the bus from the bus station, change clothes and put on makeup after arriving at Nanquan Village, change your image and continue to stare at people.

No abnormality was found every time. Li Lihong returned to her hometown just to get food.

Li Ling would ask the same questions to the surveillance personnel every time. On the one hand, it was out of habit, and on the other hand, he really wanted to get different answers from his colleagues in charge of surveillance.

That means an exciting breakthrough.

Hu Pingtao had already put on shorts and a T-shirt. He applied light gray makeup paint on his face to darken his skin color. When he was applying mousse to his hair, he happened to hear Li Ling's question. Hu Pingtao's hand
