Chapter 53 Chapter Twenty-Four

In the middle of the night, it was very difficult to get a taxi, so Li Binliang had to trot on the road, and his brain was running non-stop: Mei Di told her at this time, there must be something very important, it may be a clue about the killer. After finally arriving at the agreed place, I found an alley on the left side of the red building. The alley was very dark, he drew out his pistol vigilantly, opened the safety, slowed down, and walked into it bit by bit.He thought, since he was late, Mei Di must be waiting impatiently.As he walked inside, he called softly: "Miss Mei, Mei Di, Mei Di, are you here?"

No one answered.He waited for a while, and searched again, but there was no sign of Mei Di at all. His heart sank.His intuition told him that something happened to Mei Di. Before dawn, many brothers from the Criminal Police Brigade came, they had received a call from Li Binliang.Wu Zhishen and Hu Xuezheng also came, as did Director Cai and Deputy Director Qin. After listening to Li Binliang's introduction, Deputy Director Qin didn't think so, yawned and said, "Well, can Miss be trusted? Isn't there a trick? It's called the Big Four: 'A man's kidney, a draft of a statement, a lady's. Feelings, the representative of the Bureau of Statistics, maybe she is teasing you! Or something was delayed on the way, or she thought it was unnecessary, so she stopped looking for you."

Li Binliang was very dissatisfied with Deputy Director Qin's attitude, and said firmly: "Impossible, if she really missed me, she would call me to let me know. But it has been two or three hours now, and she still hasn't moved No. I suggest, immediately search the Red Chamber!" Deputy Director Qin: "Then I don't dare to make a decision, Director Cai, express your opinion!" Director Cai thought for a while: "I can't decide either, I have to ask Mayor Wei for instructions!" Mayor Wei's phone call was quickly connected, and he became very impatient at first. When he heard that the red building was going to be searched, he became angry: "What are you going to do? Will the Public Security Bureau listen to the municipal party committee and the municipal government? Is it against the city..." But after listening to Director Cai’s briefing, his attitude changed, and he said a few times, and suddenly he became very serious: "Why do you ask me to do something like this? Search the red building immediately. If there is any illegal or criminal behavior, you will be severely punished." Loan... Don't say it's useless, everyone has to abide by the law, you must search carefully, and if anyone sets up obstacles, report to me!"

Mayor Wei's voice was quite loud, and Li Binliang could hear it clearly from the side. Even Deputy Director Qin's eyes widened when he heard it, and a blush appeared on Huang's face again.As soon as Director Cai put down the phone, he waved his hand vigorously: "That's it, what are you afraid of if you have Shang Fang's sword, let's act now!" Half an hour later, more than 70 police officers surrounded the Red House.In addition to the criminal police brigade, there are also police from the patrol brigade and the police station in the jurisdiction. However, the purpose of the search was not achieved, all four floors of the Red Building were searched, and there was no trace of Mei Di.Everyone in the Red Mansion said they hadn't seen her since yesterday afternoon, and they didn't know where she had gone.

"Impossible!" Li Binliang showed Deputy Director Qin his paging message, and said loudly, "Look, this is the text she sent me. If she has already left here, why did she still ask me to meet?" "But..." Deputy Director Qin said, "They all say that, we say she disappeared here, there is no evidence!" Li Binliang: "This is all collusion, they are all lying. Let's inquire in detail one by one!" Li Binliang and Deputy Director Qin personally asked everyone in the red building.There are more than 40 people here including the manager, the deputy manager, the sitting manager, the waiter and the escort lady, but they all get the same answer: Mei Di disappeared in the afternoon, and she didn't tell anyone where she went.Others said that she had long said that she didn't want to do it anymore, maybe she left without saying goodbye.

Lin Ping'an's wife was brought in. Since she had just woken up from a dream and hadn't washed and dressed, she looked very tired and depressed. She was older than that meeting, but she looked more pleasing to the eye because of the faded makeup.She looked at Li Binliang, then at Deputy Director Qin, and sat down uncomfortably without saying anything. Like everyone else, she is also ignorant.Li Binliang was anxious, and said loudly: "You have to be clear, the reason we investigate this matter is to suspect that your husband was killed. Don't you want to avenge your husband? Meidi has such a good relationship with you. She has a lot of troubles. Is your heart feeling better?"

Lin Ping'an's wife shook her body, as if she wanted to say something, but she glanced at Deputy Director Qin, lowered her eyes, and shook her head. "I really don't know anything, Mei Di disappeared yesterday afternoon!" Deputy Director Qin saw the signs and gave Li Binliang a wink: "Binliang, you asked yourself, let me see how the other teams are doing!" Only Li Binliang and Lin Pingan's wife were left in the room.Li Binliang said: "Okay, there are only two of us in this room now, tell the truth this time! Why did Mei Di disappear?" Lin Ping'an's wife moved forward, shortening the distance from Li Binliang, then looked around again, and after confirming that there were no outsiders, she whispered: "Mei Di must have had an accident, last night she picked up a guest, Then I went out. Before leaving, I said hello to me, and said I would be back in a while. I asked her what she was doing, and she said there was something important...but she never came back! "

Li Binliang: "Then, why did they say she disappeared yesterday afternoon?" Lin Pingan's wife looked around again and said, "That's what the manager told us. Before you came, the manager received a call. He knew you asked about Mei Di and told us that no one should talk nonsense. Said she went out yesterday afternoon and didn't come back!" Damn, it's running again.Although Li Binliang was angry, he was no longer surprised. Lin Ping'an's wife added, "I'm only talking to you. You can't tell me. If you ask me to testify, I won't do it. If someone asks, I'll say that!"

Li Binliang thought for a while: "That's all? Do you have anything else to tell me?" Lin Ping'an's wife shook her head: "It's gone, it's nothing!" After Lin Ping'an's wife walked out, Deputy Director Qin walked in: "Did she say anything?" Li Binliang looked at Deputy Director Qin and shook his head: "No, she said she didn't know where Mei Di went!" At this time, someone came in from outside and smiled at the two of them: "Ju Qin, Jiao Li, Dui Wu and Dui Hu asked you to go up to the fourth floor..." It's Big Bear, what did they find?

Li Binliang and Deputy Director Qin went up to the fourth floor and followed Da Xiong into a room. This is a single room, and Wu Zhishen and Hu Xuezheng are in it, as well as several criminal policemen.Hu Xuezheng lifted a mattress, and said to Deputy Director Qin and Li Binliang: "Two bureau leaders, let's take a look. What are these things?" It turned out that many things were found under the mattress, including condoms, special genitals, and several picture albums. Looking through them, they were all obscene books and periodicals. Deputy Director Qin frowned: "I thought I found something. Why do you want this thing from me?"

Hu Xuezheng smiled softly: "This thing is also useful, at least it shows that prostitution and whoring are allowed here... By the way, there are no people from the political engineering department and technical department, so take photos of them as evidence!" Wu Zhishen also said loudly: "Yes, they can be punished based on this!" This time, the two of them talked together. Deputy Director Qin turned around and walked out, saying: "You can figure it out!" Li Binliang also walked out, and he led several people to search carefully from room to room.As a result, similar things were found in other rooms. At last they came to the far east end of the corridor, and found a small door against the east wall, which was locked. Li Binliang turned his head and asked the following manager, "What is this room for?" Manager: "This... ah, it's a warehouse, where some messy things are kept!" Li Binliang: "Open it and take a look." The manager said hesitantly: "This...is quite dirty, what are you looking at it for?" Li Binliang said sharply, "Open it!" The manager opened the door slowly, and Li Binliang pushed the door open. It is not a warehouse at all, but a place where people live.The room is not big, with two layers of bunks, and there are messy bedding on the bunks.However, no one was found.Li Binliang turned his head and asked the manager, "What is this place for?" "This..." the manager said bravely, "This is a place for people to live. Sometimes there are too many ladies and there is no place to live, so I live here!" There is some truth to this statement, but it is obviously not that simple.That being the case, why are you unwilling to open the door?Li Binliang made a signal, and went to bed with two criminal policemen, and checked carefully. It was soon discovered that there were not only quilts on the bed, but also several cloth belts and used adhesive tape.Li Binliang picked up one and asked the manager, "What is this for?" The manager faltered and couldn't speak.But Li Binliang knew that this was used to bind people, and those who were bound must be those women who were cheated, and Huang Xiuxiu might be among them. A criminal policeman shouted again: "Li Jiao, look..." Where the bed was against the wall, someone wrote something on the wall with something: "I'm so sorry, I want to be free, I want to leave here!" "Who can help me!" "living hell!" "Police, where are you, come and save us!" The writing is small and dark red.A criminal policeman said: "It seems to be written in blood!" So, who wrote it... It must be those ladies, some women who were tricked into forced prostitution, and Huang Xiuxiu might be among them.But now there is no one left. Li Binliang pulled the manager over and asked her to read the writing on the wall: "Say, what's going on?" The manager just shook his head and didn't know how to ask. The search ended at dawn, and it could only be confirmed that the Red House was suspected of hosting prostitution and whoring, and of forcing women into prostitution.However, it can only be a suspicion, because although there are some physical and circumstantial evidence, there is no direct evidence.During the review, the relevant personnel of the Red House were all steadfast and ignorant of every question. As for Huang Xiuxiu and Mei Di, they are both born without seeing people, and dead without seeing their corpses.The testimony of Lin Ping'an's wife about Mei Di was only for Li Binliang, and she was determined not to testify publicly. Li Binliang had no choice but to protect her. Take coercive measures. The Public Security Bureau didn't know what to do about it.Director Cai called Mayor Wei for instructions. Mayor Wei was very dissatisfied with not getting the evidence, lost his temper a few words, and finally said: "That can't be cheap for them, fine, heavy fine. Isn't your public security bureau short of funds? Fines After handing over, all will be returned to you!" A fine is also a measure of public security punishment. If you strictly follow the regulations, you cannot be punished if there is insufficient evidence.Director Cai had some objections and worries about this, but Mayor Wei was cruel: "Punish, you must be punished, and I will be responsible for any problems!" Now that the city leaders had something to say, the Public Security Bureau was not afraid, and fined a total of 100,000 yuan.Deputy Director Qin said viciously: "Damn, don't you just have a backer? I must punish Huang!" However, the fine of 100,000 yuan was paid on the same day.This sum of money may be a big sum to others, but it is just a drop in the bucket to Honglou. After the search of the red building was over, Li Binliang went to the alley to the north to check carefully, but still found nothing.He led people to search around some suspicious places and places where people might be hiding, but nothing was found. The case got stuck again. However, Li Binliang has a clear feeling that the detection work is advancing amidst setbacks, and a breakthrough is not far away.As long as you persevere, you will definitely solve the case and catch the killer. At the same time, he also realized that Mei Di, including that Huang Xiuxiu, might no longer be alive, and the murderer was that killer, and perhaps Tie Kun was also involved.Mei Di would never call herself for no reason, something must have happened, and nine out of ten the killer appeared. But where is he hiding now? During the search of the Red House, Tie Kun never showed up.Perhaps, the Red Chamber is only a small part of his entire property, and it is not worthy of his appearance. In fact, this is not the case. This matter made him very angry. He taught the killer a lesson, and the killer smiled nonchalantly: "Why, brother, you feel bad about money?" Tie Kun: "Fart, I feel sorry for being smashed. After so many years, the Public Security Bureau hasn't dared to touch me. It's all because of you. If this continues, how will I see people and go out to hang out? Who is afraid? Me? If I follow you, want to have fun, and throw the body to the police station, what will be the consequences? Tell you, leave the city as soon as possible, find a place to avoid the limelight, go quickly, don't cause trouble, and don't contact me. Will find you!" The killer didn't listen to him: "I'm not going anywhere! Brother is too careful, it's okay, no one will recognize me!" Tie Kun: "Why not? Didn't Lin Ping'an recognize you? If you hadn't acted quickly, something serious would have happened. Listen to me and hide immediately. Don't show up without me, let alone cause trouble!" The killer snorted resentfully: "Am I still a fucking person? No freedom? Okay, I'll avoid it for now, but I can't bear the ugly words until it's too long!" After the killer left the city, Tie Kun thought for a long time.He felt that this handy weapon seemed to be a bit out of control. If he continued like this, he really had to think of a good way!
