Chapter 49 Chapter Forty-eight

At noon, Zhang Yiang found Gao Dong: "Boss, the visit to the Shao Bureau unit building has made some progress. The residents downstairs of the Shao Bureau went on a business trip early Sunday morning and only came back yesterday. The police from the county bureau came to him last night to understand the situation, and he said He was at home all day on Saturday. That afternoon he remembered hearing a noise from the unit building. It was quite loud, like an explosion. He only knew it came from upstairs. Renovation. That night, he also heard the sound of plates being overturned from above. These circumstances were what he recalled when the police asked him if he had heard any abnormal noises in Shaoju’s house upstairs on Saturday.”

Gao Dong narrowed his eyes and said, "The residents next door also said that there was a sound of dishes being knocked over from Shao Xiaobing's house that night. What about the other residents?" "The house has only been built for a few years, and the housing prices in that neighborhood are high. Most of them are bought for investment. Few households live in it. The floors of other people's houses are far apart, and they all say they didn't pay attention." Gao Dong pointed at the table and said, "This is an important clue, wait a minute—you just said that there was a noise in the afternoon?"

"Yes, quite loudly." "what sound?" "The other party said it was like setting off firecrackers, or something exploded." Gao Dong's cold light flashed suddenly: "Could it be that a gun was used!" "But we have checked Shaoju's house carefully, and found no abnormalities, let alone any signs of shooting!" Gao Dong pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "There is no trace of a gunshot at home, but if the bullet directly enters the person's body, of course there will be no gunshot at home!" "Shao Ju has no gunshot wounds."

Gao Dong said, "His wife hasn't been found yet." Zhang Yiang came to his senses and stammered: "You...you mean Shao Ju's wife was shot to death?" "It's possible." Zhang Yiang said: "If it is really a shooting case, then we have to investigate the source of the gun. Our city has always had good law and order, and there has never been any shooting case before, so it is not easy to investigate." Gao Dong nodded. Even if it was a shooting, it would be even more difficult to find out who had a gun within Ning County.Those who illegally possess guns and are directly detained, even if they hide guns, no one will know except the closest relatives.He remembered that Ye Yuanchao had a gun, but the 24-hour police officer who monitored Ye Yuanchao said that he had never behaved unusually recently, and that he had not gone out since returning home on the day of the incident. Ye Yuanchao's suspicion had been completely ruled out. Yes, even the follower withdrew.

So what was the sound of the explosion in the afternoon of the incident?Is it related to the case? Gao Dong couldn't make up his mind. In the afternoon, Jiang Wei approached Gao Dong and told him a piece of news that surprised him: "Boss, when the staff of the Police Armament Storage Office recovered the Police Armaments from Bureau Shao, they found that the gun was missing and there were still five bullets." "what!" "Shao Bureau was originally equipped with a gun, which has been kept in the unit safe. Two weeks ago, Shao Bureau applied for another gun with the Police Armament Storage Office, which is a German PPK, but now this gun is nowhere to be found. "

Gao Dong paced back and forth on the spot, and said anxiously: "PPK is a self-defense pistol. Two weeks ago, yes, the Hu Haiping case just came out two weeks ago. Shao Xiaobing knew the inside story of Hu Haiping's murder. He must be Bring more guns to increase your insurance factor. The original gun is in the work unit, so...then this PPK must be carried with you or hidden at home. I didn’t find it at home...have you checked the safe in his house?" "His son will come back tomorrow, we won't know until he comes to open the safe." Gao Dong clenched his fists and said, "Hurry up, as soon as his son comes back tomorrow, he will immediately check the safe. If he can't find this PPK, something serious may happen!"

After sending Jiang Wei away, Gao Dong was restless. If it was a shooting and Shao Xiaobing's PPK disappeared, then the explosion that afternoon might have belonged to that PPK. Shao Xiaobing should be at work on Saturday afternoon, he has seen it and has an impression.Yes, it is possible that the PPK was left at home. After the murderer went in, he got the PPK and killed his wife, and then controlled Shao Xiaobing who came home at night. But even if the gun is kept at home, it is an extremely hidden place, and it will not be placed on the coffee table, so guests can see it when they come in.Assuming that the murderer entered his house for various reasons, unless he subdued his wife first, he would have time to find the gun slowly, but since he has already subdued him, why bother to shoot?

Or did the murderer have a gun? Or the sound of the explosion had nothing to do with the case at all? Anyway, something else must have happened. But now everything in Shao Xiaobing's house seems to be intact, what is the problem?What is wrong with my own thinking?
