Chapter 2 second quarter

Guangjin Apartment is composed of several small three-story Japanese-style buildings. Although it is daytime, the whole yard is still relatively quiet and tidy when viewed from the door. Guo Xiaofeng wrinkled his face and rubbed his stiff legs (because it took them over two hours to get here by reversed two trains and one subway ride, and because of the improvement of police equipment, he has been spared for many years. Such a crime.), then straightened up and looked around the yard before entering the property office at the gate with her daughter. The supervisor, Manager Sun, is a middle-aged man in his forties. His slightly gray temples and clear wrinkles on his face indicate that he has an older face. He still has a thin and straight body, and he has a well-shaven cropped head and natural eyes, as well as a matching unconfused face. That face seems to tell others——I know everything!

Regarding their arrival, Manager Sun cast an impatient glance before reluctantly asking them to sit across the table. "I really don't understand." He put down the newspaper, "Why can't you talk about this trivial matter? There is a shortage of health service personnel everywhere in Beijing. Can't you change jobs?" "That's not the reason." Aimei, who had already had a stomach full of reasons, immediately retorted sternly, "It's fine to leave, but you must give a reasonable reason. Open, this hurts a person's self-esteem very much, and we also have self-esteem!"

"Self-esteem? I didn't say the reason because I was afraid of hurting her self-esteem!" Manager Sun slapped the table a few times. , and didn’t tell anyone why she was kicked out, I saved her enough face, and even calculated her wages for a few days, what do you want from me?” Guo Xiaofeng moved his body and was about to speak when the phone next door rang. "Hi, hello, Guangjin Apartment." A female voice rang out clearly, "Oh, it's Mr. Liu, look for Manager Sun, okay, I'll look for him right away, just wait a moment." Manager Sun made a "wait" gesture for them, stood up and walked out.

After a while, Manager Sun's deep voice came from over there, which sounded a little fuzzy.But it can also be judged from the one-sided words here that it seems that the other side first exchanged some insignificant greetings, and then asked for a rent reduction next year, but was declined by Manager Sun with a haha. "Could you tell us in detail." Guo Xiaofeng asked in a low voice to Manager Sun who was full of confusion. Manager Sun, who had just sat down, looked at the man with a friendly face in front of him in surprise, and then glanced at the door that was carefully closed by this man just after he walked in - this door is usually not closed:

"Is it necessary?" He asked in surprise. "I think there is, if there is a robbery. By the way, I am a policeman, a criminal policeman, although I am not here." Guo Xiaofeng took out his ID and handed it over. Manager Sun lowered his head to look at the certificate, and raised his head hesitantly. Although the man in front of him was tall and burly and mighty, his face was very gentle and friendly, as if he had a good day, so he always Smiling guy, too unlike a policeman. After a little hesitation, he coughed lightly and said, "But I don't want to do it—"

Having said that, he looked at the closed door again, remembering the man in front of him deliberately lowered his voice just now, he wisely stopped unnecessary statements, and asked in a eager tone: "I feel that you are very cautious?" "Of course," Guo Xiaofeng replied, then stood up, moved the chair closer to Manager Sun and sat down, and added in a lower and friendly voice, "Caution is one of our professional requirements, and this Okay, I’ve been doing this for almost thirty years, and it’s almost the same as my arms, and they’ve all grown on my body. I’m not going to make a big fuss about investigating something, and make people panic. Isn’t it taboo and unsafe to do business? Kindness makes money! But -"

Seeing Manager Sun nodding his head frequently, Guo Xiaofeng's expression and voice suddenly changed again, which was a little threatening (at this moment, Manager Sun felt that the other party looked like a policeman, and he was a very dignified policeman): "A lot of things will be fine if you don't just be an ostrich. Every year there are many cases of burglary and theft in our place. Last year, there was a vicious case. It was before the Chinese New Year. A thief, no! It's a thief and murderer. He and the nanny teamed up to steal and rob. The nanny stepped on the spot, and several houses on the first floor were robbed. Later, because the owner of one of them came back, they killed people in desperation, oops! That scene—”

Manager Sun shivered, and he immediately thought of his part-time worker. "And then?" he asked hastily. "In the end, only the nanny was caught, but the murderer has not been caught since a reward was offered! Do you think, if a vicious case really happened, would you be able to cover it up?" Manager Sun wiped off his sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied in a satisfied tone that he had made a decisive decision: "So, as a precautionary measure, I fired her!" The other party smiled slightly. "Are you sure it must be her? I came to Beijing this time to catch a well-dressed theft and murderer who has been on the run for half a year. He lives in a high-end apartment like yours—no, it should be said to be even more upscale. The doorman never forgets to salute him every time! But he is a murderer who killed the cashier and stole 800,000 cash from the company!"

Manager Sun, who was stunned, muttered suddenly after a while: "This heater is too hot!" As he said that, he wiped his forehead again, and then said to Guo Xiaofeng with a desperate expression: "Then let me tell you, you can judge for me, but you must be careful and don't talk nonsense! It's like this——" Scratching his hair again in annoyance, Manager Sun finally began to narrate: "Let's start from the beginning, we have a total of ten three-story small buildings with exactly the same appearance. Except for our one, the others are all rented out, numbered from A to J. The incident happened in 301, Block C. The tenant of this house is a small family. The advertising company. The day before yesterday morning, their manager came to tell me that someone might have entered their room the night before, but the door was fine. I hurried over. His employees are checking, and the room is not messed up. But the manager told me with certainty that someone must have gone in, because he is a careful person. He first found out that the order of the books on the bookshelf was wrong. He didn’t care at first, thinking that some employee had messed it up, but then another employee also found that his drawer was in the wrong order. The traces that have been turned over by others, they asked each other, and they all denied it. The manager felt that the problem was serious, so he found me. When I went in, everyone was checking their things carefully. I was very nervous at the time, you know we are In business, if news of a thief in the apartment gets out, it will not only affect the entry of new customers, but some of the old customers will also leave... Fortunately, at this time, one of them found that the fifty yuan in his drawer was still Lie down well, the money is on the top of the drawer, you can see it at a glance, there is no reason for the thief not to find it. At this time, everyone began to think that it might be superfluous, because the law and order in our place has always been very good, out of maintenance—oh —I think you can understand—”

"The purpose of maintaining the reputation of the apartment, isn't it?" Guo Xiaofeng added in time, laughing more convincingly, "I understand very well! I would do the same if it were changed." Manager Sun showed a satisfied smile to the policeman in front of him: "Yes! So I had to strengthen their feeling, saying that there should be no thieves. The manager also felt a little sorry, and explained that because they brought back 50,000 in cash yesterday, they found that the house seemed to have been turned over when they came today. So I became extra careful. I quickly asked: "What about the 50,000 yuan?" The manager replied: "I took it away last night." Immediately, I quietly and politely asked the manager if it was his subordinate, and the manager said it was impossible. , because yesterday all the employees knew that the money would be taken away to pay the bill before leaving get off work."

"Then what are they yelling about? It doesn't sound like they really lost anything." Ai Mei, who had been listening for a long time, immediately stared at the result and asked scoldingly, "Besides, you fired Aunt Tang for this? " Only then did Guo Xiaofeng know that the surname of the fellow they were seeking justice for was Tang. Manager Sun gave her a glance back, not to be outdone: "I haven't finished yet. Then, when I was about to leave and go out, our cleaner—that is, Sister Tang, who you came to discuss for her—came in to do the cleaning. Before I left, I wanted to ask her a few words ——Because of other things, who knew I saw—” Manager Sun’s voice choked. Guo Xiaofeng immediately leaned forward and asked in an encouraging tone: "what?" "I—" Manager Sun seemed to be choked by the very reluctant words, and after a long time, he replied with a determined expression, "I saw a footprint jumping out on the stainless steel operating table near the window." Having said this, he stopped. "Oh——" Guo Xiaofeng nodded, but then he shook his head, folded his arms, and asked with his head tilted, "But the tenant's people searched suspiciously for a long time, but they didn't see any footprints." ?" "It's like this. Our tenants are divided into two categories. One kind lives here, and they can use the kitchen to cook some simple meals; the other kind doesn't live here, and they hardly pay attention to the stove. Little, it’s behind the door—” Manager Sun tried to describe it, and finally, the feeling of powerlessness made him change his mind. He stood up and said, “Oh—maybe it’s better to show you our room structure. It’s exactly C Seat 201 is still empty, and 201 is directly below 301."
