Section 31 Consumption Desire

The injury was so severe, this person probably didn't hit him intentionally.

But this did not mean that the anger in her heart disappeared. Li Lihong tightly grasped the strap of the bag and glared at Hu Pingtao, who was sitting on the ground and moaning. When she walked past him, she felt something in her heart.

Inexplicable pleasure.

Run like crazy!

Let you rush!

Such a big wound, feel better now!

You deserve it! Let you be rich, let you show off, let you go to Yuxi to eat eel rice noodles.

After walking a few dozen meters, Li Lihong heard a call coming from behind her, mixed with voices of lamentation and pain.

"Hey, I can't go. Come pick me up now. I'm injured. I need to go to the hospital to treat the wound first..."



More than ten minutes later, Li Ling appeared on the street driving an old Santana. Hu Pingtao struggled to stand up, pressing the muscles above the wound with his left hand, dragging his feet, and walked into the car step by step with Li Ling's help.

inside.

"Why is it so badly injured?" Looking at the wound that was the size of a palm, Li Ling frowned: "I thought you were just talking casually on the phone, but I didn't expect you were really hurt."

He then asked with concern: "Go to the hospital first!"

Hu Pingtao shook his head: "Go back to the bureau and go to the infirmary to clean it with hydrogen peroxide and wrap it with gauze."

Li Ling didn't insist. He turned around and got out of the car, walked around to the front door and sat on the driver's seat. He started the engine, controlled the car and started to turn. He asked expectantly: "Have you found anything?"

Hu Pingtao recalled what happened before and nodded: "Yes."

This was the second time Li Ling heard the same answer from him.

Unlike last time, Li Ling had no doubts this time, only more expectations.



Three days later, in the afternoon, the anti-narcotics team office.

Lei Yue convened a meeting with all members of the temporary team to summarize the information collected during this period.

Looking at Hu Pingtao who had put on shorts and had gauze wrapped around his knees, Lei Yue's eyes showed approval: "Xiaohu, are you feeling better?"

"It's okay, they're all scarred," Hu Pingtao replied with a smile.

That fall was intentional.

In order not to alarm the target, Hu Pingtao chose a more alternative method.

Check the trash.

"The change in living conditions is nothing more than "clothing, food, housing, and transportation." Based on past and recent monitoring information, Li Lihong's clothing has not changed. Whether it is daily wear or clothes hanging to dry, they are almost the same.

Old items that have been recorded years ago. Including her daughter’s, most of the newly purchased clothes are from street vendors, the kind that cost more than ten yuan a piece, which is very cheap.”

"The information fed back by the shared bicycle company shows that Li Lihong has never used the bike. She never takes a taxi when she goes out, she always walks."

"Needless to say about the place to live, rental houses in urban villages are very cheap. The house Li Lihong rents is not large because it is not in a hotspot. In addition, she pays annual rent, so on average her monthly rent is only

Four hundred and twenty yuan."

"To sum up, the information currently available shows that Li Lihong's living standard is very low, and her monthly income is only enough to maintain a balance."

"These are most likely superficial phenomena. The last important direction of investigation is food."

This is what Hu Pingtao said in a group meeting before. He has special insights into garbage.

"Domestic waste reflects the quality of life to a large extent. This is not difficult to understand. Most of the food now has packaging: milk cartons, biscuit bags, cake wrappers, instant noodles, ham sausages...even when you go to the vegetable market to buy them

For vegetables, if you pay one yuan for leeks, the vendor will give you a plastic bag to hold the vegetables."

According to Hu Pingtao's arrangement, the temporary team began to set up control points near Li Lihong's rented house. However, two days later, Li Lihong never threw away garbage when she went out, and the team members found nothing.

Wang Shuangshuang's monitoring report shows that Li Lihong carries an old snakeskin bag when she goes out for the early morning shift every morning.

Hu Pingtao had a feeling that there might be some secrets hidden in it that Li Lihong wanted to hide deliberately.

He planned a morning run, pretended to be careless, and knocked down Li Lihong.

When Hu Pingtao fell to the ground with pain and deliberately caused a bruise on his knee, he scratched Li Lihong's old snakeskin pocket several times.

It has a hard touch and a familiar outline, it is the bone of some kind of animal.

Pigs, or cattle or sheep.

There is a clear thorny feeling, and there is a small section of neatly arranged order, which is the fish bone.

The plastic wrapping paper has a vague feel to the touch, making it difficult to determine the specific source.

There should be at least one beverage bottle with a capacity of 550 ml.

What excited Hu Pingtao was that he touched a plastic lunch box. This thing is very common in restaurants and is made of degradable hard plastic. Because of the high production cost, most restaurant operators will not give it to customers for free when they ask for it.

The kind that asks for an extra dollar.

The entire impact process has been rehearsed many times. He Ping and Li Ling walked back and forth on the "T" shaped road many times in casual clothes, calculating the time and walking speed, especially the hard tiles on the sidewalk at the exit of the alley.

That area belongs to the old city that has been included in the scope of demolition. The infrastructure is aging and there are at least three warped floor tiles. He Ping specially made a grid-format floor plan for Hu Pingtao to refer to for reference.

No one is an omniscient genius. If you want to judge what is in a snakeskin bag through its grasp, you must undergo a lot of training.

Hu Pingtao spent a whole day practicing in the anti-narcotics brigade. He can now accurately distinguish the differences between most common substances and further judge the objects he grabs through touch.

Today is a summary discussion.

Wang Shuangshuang is a capable policewoman. She is responsible for monitoring Li Lihong from early morning to 11 noon: "On the 15th, 17th and 19th of this month, Li Lihong worked the morning shift. She worked for a cleaning company

She stood there to collect tools and clean the streets she was responsible for. Around 5:30, she would stay at the Linhe Bridge. A man riding an electric bicycle to deliver goods met her there. Through surveillance video tracking, we found

The man was a butcher shop operator in a nearby vegetable market. Li Lihong was his old customer and had been buying meat from him in Qiaotou. The quantity and parts purchased each time varied: hind legs, tenderloin, ribs... Li Lihong used the agreed method.

, For example, we made an appointment today to buy a pound of ribs the day after tomorrow. The butcher shop owner prepared the goods in advance according to her request, and the two parties met at the appointed time at the bridge. "

Li Guangyi looked grim: "How long has this situation lasted?"

"One year and four months." Wang Shuangshuang added: "The butcher shop owner once asked Li Lihong why she didn't go to the vegetable market to buy meat. She said it was too far and the work of cleaning the streets could not be stopped. In order to save time, she could only use

this way."

Lei Yue sneered and said: "A very good excuse, logical... Kong Chengli, tell me what you found."

"During this period, I am responsible for tracking the whereabouts of Li Lihong's garbage every day." Kong Chengli's skin is a little dark, and he took off his police uniform and put on casual clothes, giving people a simple and honest feeling: "She uses that old snakeskin bag to transport it every day.

All kinds of waste were thrown into the garbage truck when they arrived at the cleaning company. In order not to alert the snake, I hid in the car opposite and took pictures secretly with a camera. Remember the location of the waste, and then followed the garbage truck to the outside of the city.

Garbage dump. Based on the shapes and colors of the objects recorded in advance, search them one by one according to the pictures... Xiaohu's judgment was very accurate. On the day of the morning run, the garbage thrown away by Li Lihong did indeed contain pig bones and fish bones, as well as a plastic Coke bottle, two

A plastic lunch box filled with leftovers.”

Li Ling interjected: "Judging from the garbage and packaging thrown away by Li Lihong during this period, she is very willing to spend money on food. There are steamed buns from "Yixingzhai", roast chicken from Fushunju, bread

The egg tarts from the workshop, as well as the braised lion's head that tastes like grandma's...especially the roast chicken from Fushunju, which is a time-honored brand and tastes really good, but the price is also expensive. Li Lihong bought two at one time."

"When she usually sweeps the streets at work, she never carries the snakeskin bag, but wears a brown backpack that is not old and new. There is a supermarket in the block she is responsible for, and Li Lihong often goes there. She bought a large one the day before yesterday.

A box of imported Belgian chocolates. She was very cautious and always wore a mask."

Lei Yue frowned and asked, "If I buy so much at one time, can she and her daughter finish it?"

"This is what I want to say next." Kong Chengli sighed: "I work part-time as a garbage collector these days, following the garbage truck to the countryside. Every time I take out the things Li Lihong threw away from the pocket of the car, I see

I feel distressed. I won’t tell you what they are specifically... Well, you can see for yourselves."

With that said, Kong Chengli took out his mobile phone, clicked on the photo page, and handed it to Lei Yue.

There are hundreds of photos, all of which are thrown away food.

Most of the box of complete egg tarts, only a third of the grilled fish was eaten, and the remaining half of the box of "Tianfu Bangbang Chicken", a roast chicken with one leg torn off, stewed ribs, and unopened chocolate...

Members of the case handling team have seen these photos before. Li Guangyi came close to Lei Yue and stared at the screen of his mobile phone intently, with an angry look gradually appearing on his face.

"We didn't follow the right path in monitoring her before." Lei Yue said coldly: "The monitoring time was not long enough. We only focused on superficial things, but ignored Li Lihong's potential consumption desires."

Kong Chengli said: "She bought too many things, all of which were food. I guess when we investigated Li Rongkai's case a few years ago, in order to find stolen money, we searched Li Lihong's rented house, which made her wary. She has been on guard.

We never leave the things we buy at home overnight, even if we can’t finish them, we throw them away.”

"She didn't dare to throw away the garbage openly. As long as she paid a little attention, she would know that there was something wrong with her. So she took the garbage to the cleaning company in a snakeskin bag every morning and threw it directly into the garbage truck. This eliminated the need for intermediate shipping.

It also reduces the chance of exposure.”
